Highlights

Gullfoss waterfall
Gullfoss is a waterfall located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. During the first half of the 20th century and some years into the late 20th century, there was much speculation about using Gullfoss to generate electricity. During this period, the waterfall was rented indirectly by its owners, Tómas Tómasson and Halldór Halldórsson, to foreign investors. However, the investors' attempts were unsuccessful, partly due to lack of money. The waterfall was later sold to the state of Iceland, and is now protected.
Hvítá River
Hvítá (white river) is a river in Iceland that begins at the Hvítárvatn glacier lake on the Langjökull glacier in the highlands of Iceland. The river flows for 40 kilometres before dropping down into a narrow gorge at the Gullfoss waterfall.
Langjokull
Langjokull (Icelandic for "long glacier") is the second-largest ice cap in Iceland (953 km2), after Vatnajökull. It is situated in the west of the Icelandic interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur. Its volume is 195 km³ and the ice is up to 580 m thick. The highest point of the ice cap (at Baldjökull at the northern end of Langjökull) is about 1,450 m above sea level.
Reykjavik
Reykjavik, on the coast of Iceland, is the country's capital and largest city. It's home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history. The striking concrete Hallgrimskirkja church and rotating Perlan glass dome offer sweeping views of the sea and nearby hills. Exemplifying the island’s volcanic activity is the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa, near the village of Grindavik.
