黃金圈是冰島所有風景路線中最著名的,在環形觀光之旅中結合了令人驚歎的地標和具有歷史意義的地方。
The Golden Circle is the most famous of all scenic routes in Iceland and combines stunning landmarks and historically significant places in a circular sightseeing tour.
Þingvellir National Park
Þingvellir是冰島的歷史和地質寶藏,被風景優美所包圍。 從公元930年定居到1789年,冰島議會在這裡開會,1944年6月17日,冰島在這個重要的地方宣佈從丹麥獨立。 自2004年以來,Þingvellir被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產。 在Þingvellir,構造板塊飄散,在Almannagjá峽谷和Silfra可以看到裂谷,在那裡可以在大陸之間潛水和浮潛。 冰島最大的天然湖泊Þingvallavatn和Öxaráfoss瀑布為Þingvellir國家公園增添了美景。
Þingvellir is the historical and geological treasure of Iceland, wrapped in scenic beauty. From the age of settlement 930 AD until 1789 the Icelandic parliament Alþingi met here, and on the 17th of June 1944, Iceland proclaimed its independence from Denmark at this significant place. Since 2004, Þingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage site. In Þingvellir, the tectonic plates drift apart, the crevasses being visible in Almannagjá canyon as well as in Silfra, where it is possible to dive and snorkel between the continents. The biggest natural lake in Iceland, Þingvallavatn, and the Öxaráfoss waterfall add to the scenic beauty of Þingvellir National Park.
Geysir
著名的大間歇泉、間歇泉Strokkur和各種溫泉、蒸汽通風口和硫磺泥盆可以探索。當大間歇泉幾乎不噴出水面時,較小的間歇泉Strokkur每8-10分鐘可靠地噴出沸騰的熱水噴泉,空氣中長達30米。
The famous Great Geysir, the geyser Strokkur and various kinds of hot springs, steam vents, and sulfurous mud pots can be explored. While the Great Geysir barely spouts, the smaller geyser Strokkur reliably gushes its fountains of boiling hot water every 8-10 minutes up to 30 meters in the air.
Gullfoss waterfall
Hvítá河平均有10萬升冰川水每秒向Gullfossgljúfur峽谷注入31米。 在夏天,Gullfoss瀑布平均每天有2000多人眩暈。 “金色瀑布”的受歡迎程度和吸引力在於其不尋常的級聯形狀,以及從各個角度和每個季節都非常上鏡。On average 100.000 liters of glacial water from the river Hvítá plunge 31 meters into the Gullfossgljúfur canyon every second. During the summer, Gullfoss waterfall bedazzles on average more than 2000 people per day. The popularity and attraction of the 'Golden Waterfall' lie in its unusual, cascading shape and in its being extremely photogenic from every angle and in every season.
Iceland Horse
冰島馬的發育遲緩,但也很長壽及耐苦。在國內,牠們只會患上很少類的疾病,因為冰島禁止馬匹入口及接收已出口的馬匹。 冰島馬有五種步態。牠們是冰島內唯一的馬品種,在國際也享負勝名,也有大量在歐洲及北美洲生活。在冰島,牠們會被用在幫助放牧、娛樂、馬術表演及賽馬.
Icelandic horses are slow to grow, but they also have a long life and tolerance. They only suffer from a few diseases, because Iceland prohibits the import and acceptance of exported horses. Icelandic horses have five gaits. It is the only horse breed in Iceland. It also enjoys a reputation in the world, and a large number of people live in Europe and North America. In Iceland, they will be used to help with grazing, entertainment, equestrian performances and horse racing.
Iceland Coke
因為冰島水質很好,所以特別買冰島製的飲料來喝一下,口味真的不一樣!
We spent $4.5 for an Iceland made coke. It tasted very different from others.
Iceland Costco
回家路上開始下雨,我們去了Costco加油,順利逛一下,冰島的物價非常高,大概是北美的兩倍!我們吃了Pizza和冰島特色加了炸洋蔥碎的熱狗。冰島幣100大約美金一元。
It began to rain on the way home. We went to Costco to refuel and walk around. The price in Iceland is very high, about double of North America! We had Pizza and a hot dog with fried onions in Iceland.
