about 6,500 years ago, making it roughly half the age of most volcanic calderas found in Iceland and it lies at the northern end of a row of craters known as Tjarnarh\u00f3lar.<\/p>\n<p>Keri\u00f0 is approximately 55 metres (180 feet) deep, 170 metres (558 feet) wide and 270 meters (886 feet) in circumference. It is a short and easy walk from the parking lot to the edge of the crater and it is possible to take a path around the crater and to descend down to the pristine waters of the crater lake. According to an old tradition, a rise in the water level here is accompanied by a corresponding fall in the pond on B\u00farfell in Gr\u00edmsnes and vice versa.<b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Gullfoss (Golden Falls)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stunning, iconic waterfall of Gullfoss is located in the Hv\u00edt\u00e1 river, which comes from the glacier Langj\u00f6kull.\u00a0 It is one of the best-known sights in Iceland and is one of the three main places we visit on our Golden Circle Tour. In fact, the name Golden Circle is derived from the waterfall name, as it literally translates as the \u201cGolden Waterfall\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer, the water flow down the falls is approximately 140 cubic metres per second. In winter that decreases to approximately 109 cubic metres per second.<\/p>\n<p>The roar of the falling water and the spray that it throws up as it falls makes for an exciting experience. In summer, on a sunny day, it is often possible to see a rainbow caused by the huge amounts of spray.<\/p>\n<p>And with such a force of water, visitors should not be surprised to find themselves occasionally drenched in the waterfall\u2019s spray.<\/p>\n<p>Access to Gullfoss is easy and everybody can see and experience its incredible force of nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Geysir<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The highly active Geysir area at Haukadalur contains the natural phenomena of boiling mud pools and exploding geysers. The most active geyser is Strokkur which spouts water 30 metres into the air every few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Research shows that the Geysir area has been active for approximately 10,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>The oldest accounts of hot springs at Haukadalur date back to 1294, when earthquakes in the area caused significant changes in the local neighbouring landscape creating several new hot springs.<\/p>\n<p>Changes in the activity of Geysir and its surrounds are strongly related to earthquake activity. In records dated 1630, the geysers erupted so violently that the valley around them trembled.<\/p>\n<p>The place name \u201cGeysir\u201d was first mentioned in written sources in the 18th century and, as unusual natural phenomena were of high interest to the society during the Age of Enlightenment, the term became popular and has been used for similar hydrothermal features worldwide since then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>\u00deingvellir<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00deingvellir (literally \u201cParliament Plains\u201d) is a beautiful and amazing place, as a site of historical, cultural and geological significance.

It is a short and easy walk from the parking lot to the edge of the crater and it is possible to take a path around the crater and to descend down to the pristine waters of the crater lake. According to an old tradition, a rise in the water level here is accompanied by a corresponding fall in the pond on B\u00farfell in Gr\u00edmsnes and vice versa.<b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gullfoss (Golden Falls)<\/strong><\/p> <p>The stunning, iconic waterfall of Gullfoss is located in the Hv\u00edt\u00e1 river, which comes from the glacier Langj\u00f6kull.\u00a0 It is one of the best-known sights in Iceland and is one of the three main places we visit on our Golden Circle Tour. In fact, the name Golden Circle is derived from the waterfall name, as it literally translates as the \u201cGolden Waterfall\u201d.<\/p> <p>In the summer, the water flow down the falls is approximately 140 cubic metres per second. In winter that decreases to approximately 109 cubic metres per second.<\/p> <p>The roar of the falling water and the spray that it throws up as it falls makes for an exciting experience. In summer, on a sunny day, it is often possible to see a rainbow caused by the huge amounts of spray.<\/p> <p>And with such a force of water, visitors should not be surprised to find themselves occasionally drenched in the waterfall\u2019s spray.<\/p> <p>Access to Gullfoss is easy and everybody can see and experience its incredible force of nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geysir<\/strong><\/p> <p>The highly active Geysir area at Haukadalur contains the natural phenomena of boiling mud pools and exploding geysers. The most active geyser is Strokkur which spouts water 30 metres into the air every few minutes.<\/p> <p>Research shows that the Geysir area has been active for approximately 10,000 years.<\/p> <p>The oldest accounts of hot springs at Haukadalur date back to 1294, when earthquakes in the area caused significant changes in the local neighbouring landscape creating several new hot springs.<\/p> <p>Changes in the activity of Geysir and its surrounds are strongly related to earthquake activity.
