The National Park Thingvellir is the only place in the world where the tectonic plates can be seen above sea level. In the year 930 AD the Vikings founded the first Icelandic parliament, Althingi at Logberg in Thingvellir. We take a walk in the canyon Almannagja and visit the Rock of Law , the site of the first parliament. We drive through the rift valley between the tectonic continental plates and continue over the highland track Lyngdalsheidi to the famous Geysir area, with the very active hot spring Strokkur, spouting every five minutes. Lunch of excellent Icelandic seafood buffet, which includes some meat, as well as soup, salad and bread, is taken at the comfortable Hotel Geysir.
Lunch is included in price.
On the glacier you have the opportunity to take an hour long Snowmobiling trip. Overalls, gloves and helmets are available at the glacier hut. In the afternoon we will drive back on a highland track and cross some glacial rivers on our way to the explosive-crater Kerid. Drive through the green farmlands of southern Iceland. After a coffee break in greenhouse village Hveragerdi we drive through magnificent lava fields along side the coast to steaming mud pots in Krysuvik and on along the unique Lake Kleifarvatn to fishing-port Hafnarfjordur.
