travel : Iceland〜pt.2

And I don't know why you all don't want to join me in a future travel to Iceland. So today I'm going to make you want to, writing about the four national park of Iceland.

Jökulsárgljúfur National Park

This park is situated in the north of the country and it is formed by diverse canyon and volcanic mountains. 8000 years ago, a volcano erupted directly beneath the river causing powerful explosion with fire, gas and water.





Skaftafell National Park

This one is situated in the south of Iceland. It looks like Alps, but it is also made by fire and water. Here is the curious waterfall Svartifoss, look the difference between summer and winter:




Snæfellsjökull National Park

This one is around the tall volcano with glacier called Snæfell, in the western Iceland. It resembles Fujiyama in Japan. Did you know that aliens land here when they come to the Earth? This volcano has special power inside, I heard it. It should be a kind of Mordor or something.

Þingvellir National Park

In the southwest of Iceland, Þingvellir is also UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place is famous because of its history (there were huge gatherings) and nature (you can find a lot of rifts in the ground). Reading things, for me it seems to be the concentration of the best Icelandic things (although it doesn't mean that we can miss another places!... maybe that sentence isn't fair at all!).


Fire and water, that's the point guys! OK, the lesson is finished because I must stop dropping the bombs of pictures! Oh yes, You can go home.
