點止冰冰島@ Golden Circle (31/7/2015)


The Golden Circle tour allows you to visit some of Iceland’s most stunning sights, starting with the Geysir geothermal area where the Strokkur geyser shoots a column of water up to 30 metres (98 ft.) into the air every 4-8 minutes in a thrilling display of nature’s forces. The visit continues with Gullfoss (Golden Falls) waterfall, created by the river Hvítá, which tumbles and plunges into a crevice some 32 m (105 ft.) deep.

The Golden Circle tour also includes the historical and geological wonder that is Thingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart at a rate of a few centimetres per year.

Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the idyllic Friðheimar greenhouse cultivation centre, where you can learn about the magic behind growing delicious, pesticide-free tomatoes and cucumbers with the aid of the geothermal heat that Iceland has in abundance.

今天我們報了Reykjavik Excursions 團到Golden circle 遊覽。

旅遊車帶我們到geysir, gullfoss, pingvellir. 這家公司導遊在車上指教我們怎去景點,在車上說很多故事。

Geothermal farm: Friðheimar









Geysir 2000年地震關係,今非昔比,以前噴泉有百米高,今日得幾米高,可惜,但這是很熱門的景點,遊人很多。它和美國的黃石公園中的OLD FAITHFUL和西蘭的地熱噴泉齊名。











至於,gullfoss 這個黃金瀑布很正很有氣勢,在陽光下閃閃生輝,又像一道流動的銀河,點綴了四圍的山陂,這個瀑布有不同的落差,造成不同的層級,但每層的石頭也很平坦,所以遠望有一種很整齊的樣式,某些角度,瀑布還呈現美麗的三角型形態。




















最後,到了pingvellir國家公園,這是冰島的政治立法議會裁決中心,不過,我就認為板塊邊界才是我想看的景點。不過,這家導遊完全沒有介紹地理知識,可以BLACK LIST,令人失望。
