After the Aurora, the reason for choosing to go to Iceland again🪶
After the aurora, Iceland's short summer arrives, the ice and snow melt, and the hidden landscape that has been covered all year is revealed. In Iceland, where the first impression is always black and white, it turns out that there are also colorful landscapes.
From the beautiful scenery of blue sky, white clouds, green grass, waterfalls, rainbows and flowers, it gradually switches to glacial lakes, black sand beaches, craters, basalt, moss, sea rocks... It is like traveling between a fairy tale world and the end of the world.
——Southwest (Golden Circle)——
• Thingvellir National Park
The American Plate and the Eurasian Plate separated to form the Silfra rift, where the water is clear and you can experience diving
• Geyser
Today, the geyser rarely erupts, but the nearby Strokkur geyser is very active, erupting about every ten minutes.
• Gullfoss Waterfall
Double collapse between the canyons, it is easy to see the rainbow when the weather is clear
——South (Vic)——
• Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
When the sun sets, looking out from behind the waterfall, the sunlight shines through the water and casts a shadow on the entire waterfall.
• Skogafoss Waterfall
The waterfall is super wide, with surging mist. Under the sunlight, a complete rainbow bridge will appear over the waterfall.
• Basalt rocks and Reynisfjara black sand beach
The volcanic rock cooled and formed into basalt arranged in an accordion shape. The black sand beach where "Game of Thrones" was filmed, enjoying the solitude at the end of the world
• Sea of Lupine Flowers|Vic Red Church
Every June and July, the town of Vik, the Golden Circle, and the area around Lake Myvatn are surrounded by purple and romantic lupines.
——Southeast (Glacier Lake)——
• Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
The huge glacial lake is a representative of Iceland's natural scenery. The ice blocks that melted from the Vatnajökull glacier float in the lake, which is very shocking.
• Diamond Beach
The broken ice in the glacial lake was washed onto the dark beach by the undercurrent. The transparent ice blocks reflected the sunlight on the beach, like shining diamonds.
• Feather Canyon
In summer, the canyon is covered with moss and green, and water flows through the canyon, making it a great place for hiking and taking photos.
——North (Akureyri)——
• Lake Myvatn
The unique volcanic landforms look like the surface of the moon, or like the scenery in an oil painting, and there are hot springs rich in minerals.
• Akureyri
Rainbow colors and heart-shaped traffic lights can be seen everywhere in the city. Every corner tells the story of Iceland's romance.
• Rhino Stone
Rhino Rock is actually a volcanic plug. It was originally a basalt pile about 15 meters high. After continuous erosion and beating by sea water, it gradually formed its current appearance.
——West (Snaefellsnes Peninsula)——
• The Black Church of Búdir
The pure black church faces the sea and is surrounded by the magnificent volcanic landforms. It is sparsely populated.
• Straw Hat Mountain (Church Mountain)
Its unique shape attracts many photographers and tourists to visit, and it is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. In Game of Thrones, it is set as the location "north of the wall". When the protagonist Jon Snow and The Hound are tracking the White Walkers, Straw Hat Mountain is what they call "the mountain that looks like an arrowhead".
