In fact, in recent years, the number of American tourists visiting Iceland on an annual basis has enlisted the natives of the country! Surprised? Not after consultation with our list of 12 Natural Wonders in Iceland that you certainly want to visit.

1. Strokkur Geyser
Say, are you a fan of fluid blowing violently out of the ground? Well, you could attend this on the SATURNE Moon of Enceladus, but who has time and budget to go there? Fortunately, Iceland has covered you. Strokkur Geyser, located east of Reykjavik next to the Hvita River worth a visit. The frequency in which it bursts (about 6 to 10 minutes) is the frequency of other natural geysers around the world. In comparison, former loyal in Yellowstone National Park Leave between 45 and 90 minutes between rashes. Jers to that and the glow of Strokkur!

2. Thingvellir
Þingdellir National Park (which we have served Anglicized as a trompeellir, because we guess you have not mastered the Icelandic alphabet) has everything you need: canyons, the river Öxará and the lakes where you can dive, do Diving with snorkel and like that Merfolk enchanted. The mainland drift between North American and Eurasian plates is clearly visible here, which produces frequent earthquake tremors that you can experience yourself!


3. Hverarond
Hverarond's boiling sludge pits look like a site that Jrr Tolkien would behave, but remains assured, there really exists. Wikipedia never lie, people. Hverarond has some of the largest spring areas of sulfur throughout the country. Yeah, sulfur. Okay, the smell is not particularly nice, but the extra-terrestrial landscape makes it the journey worth it. Just do not get closer to boiling soil !!! Tourists are known to suffer from severe burns when they have ventured beyond trail areas. So ... pumped to visit this site again? As a bonus, if you are looking to do some hiking while you are there, a nearby trail can take you to Mount Squenic Namafjall.

4. Dyrholay
This small peninsula, a nice 2½ hour drive southeast of Reykjavik, is located near the charming village of Vik, the southernmost point in the country. There is something incredible to see almost all directions! North, you have a superb look at the huge Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Looking at the west, you can see all the shoreline that extends on Selfoss. If you turn your eyes eastward, you can consult the cliffs of the Reynidrangar Sea, made from a series of black lava columns that emerge from the sea. In front of the peninsula is the famous blackbow of the lava for which the peninsula is named. Oh, and you can even find piffins there in summer !!! No matter how macarous are cute, please resist the desire to take a house.


5. KERID
Kerid (or Kérith, if you prefer. We like to give our options options) is a volcanic crater lake in the southern part of the country that must be on your list when you visit Iceland. Tired of seeing the black volcanic rock? We hear you. The red color of Kerid's volcanic rock is a good change of rhythm. Although there is not much vegetation around the crater, a wall stopped slowly and covered with thick foam, which makes it possible to make a safe descent. Practice, right? Thanks to the minerals contained in the soil, the lake has an incredible acute-marine color. Most of the neighboring volcanic features have been trained about 6,000 years ago, but the characteristics of Kerid are more recognizable because they are only about half of this age. So young!

6. Dynjandi Waterfall
As you plan your picturesque car in Iceland, the Dynjandi waterfall is a must. Located in the region of the Remote Westfjords of the country, Dynjandi is not in fact a unique waterfall, but rather a series of seven breathtaking waterfalls. It is an impressive view in a country that certainly does not lack beautiful places. Once you have finished Oohing and Aaaa'aa'aa'aa'aa'hing, you can make the most of the robust hiking area and enjoy loneliness.


7. Jökulsárlón
This huge icy lake from the south-east Iceland is a real natural wonder. At more than 284 m (814 ft), it is the deepest lake of the country and one of the coolest to pronounce. In addition to all these famous icebergs, you can also find seals hanging along the lake's mouth. There are also Aplementy birds, including skuas (they love to feast with macarous!) And Ghannels. Just do not get closer to the nests of gannets, people. They can have a lot of average things, even with humans. Several high profile movies such asBatman begins,Lara Croft: Tomb RaiderAnd a pair of James Bond flicks were also placed here.

8. DETTIFS
The waterfalls are basically badass in general, but the detttens is the hardest (?) Of them! At least in Europe. The people there do not call it "the beast" for nothing. It is supposedly the largest waterfall from all over Europe, 45 m high and about 100 m (330 feet) of 500 cubic meters (lot and lots of cubic feet, guy!) Of water per second Plunging on the edge. The runoff of sediments turns the color of greyish white water. Guess what else, hiker amateurs? There are also 34 km of hiking trails in the area. Go knock off!


9. Landmannaugar
A wind-swept mountain ridge located in the Fjallabak nature reserve in the southern highlands, Landmannaugar offers visitors a unique geological experience. The rock of the rhyolite that Landmannaugar is composed of Crene an amazing range of colors in shades of green, rose, red and gold. It also has its fair share of geothermal baths that Icelandic and tourists love relaxing. There are mountain hikes nearby that lasts as long as 4 days, so a geothermal soaking could be exactly what you need after!

10. SKÓGAFOSS
Another vast waterfall, Skógafoss is also close to an extremely popular summer resort station. You are invited to walk so far, but you are preparing for a drought of a lifetime because this water falls hard. Bring your rain speed is what we get. You can take the stairs located on the right side of the waterfalls and make your way to the visualization platform in order to increase rainbow and unicorns images. We enjoy about unicorns ... or are we?


11. BLUE LAGUNE
Located in a lava field in Grindavik, on the Reykjanes Peninsula, the blue lagoon (or Bláa Lónið in non-English) is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the entire Iceland. Percanece You suffer from skin disease such as psoriasis? We do not hope! But anyway, the blue lagoon is rich in minerals such as silica and sulfur, which are super soothing for people of all ages. The silica, if you need to know (and you must!), Where is the water gets its beautiful blue color!

12. Gulfoss
I had time to visit a last waterfall? You'd do better! Although the other cascades in this list, this two-level waterfall located in the Olfusa River canyon in the southwestern country is nevertheless impressive. We particularly recommend visiting winter when the waterfall freezes! The wave waves of glittering ice provide a scene directly on a fantastic movie!
