We rented a car and drove the "Golden Circle" route into central Iceland. This is the tectonic plate of Europe and N. America, the are slowly moving apart, called Thingvellir.
Icelandic horse. They are a very old breed, if they ever leave the island, they can't come back. This is to protect the other horses from disease.
Gullfoss, translated mean's God's falls. We made it just in time to catch this sight before the sunset at 4pm.
The thing about geysirs is, they erupt and then you're wet! I was curious about the hole in the ground, got too close, and then it exploded. But I was faster and escaped the downpour. With hot sulphury steam and water the earth is literally boiling up here...like a giant whale spout. So far, Iceland is great.
