It is one of the best-known sights in Iceland and is one of the three main places we visit on our Golden Circle Tour. In fact, the name Golden Circle is derived from the waterfall name, as it literally translates as the \u201cGolden Waterfall\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer, the water flow down the falls is approximately 140 cubic metres per second. In winter that decreases to approximately 109 cubic metres per second.<\/p>\n<p>The roar of the falling water and the spray that it throws up as it falls makes for an exciting experience. In summer, on a sunny day, it is often possible to see a rainbow caused by the huge amounts of spray.<\/p>\n<p>And with such a force of water, visitors should not be surprised to find themselves occasionally drenched in the waterfall\u2019s spray.<\/p>\n<p>Access to Gullfoss is easy and everybody can see and experience its incredible force of nature.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .row_inner -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_row -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_judn130 tf_w tf_clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_aqp0323 first\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_hyb5344   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-837 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0152-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0152-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0152.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>Geysir<\/strong><\/p><p>The highly active Geysir area at Haukadalur contains the natural phenomena of boiling mud pools and exploding geysers.

In fact, the name Golden Circle is derived from the waterfall name, as it literally translates as the \u201cGolden Waterfall\u201d.<\/p> <p>In the summer, the water flow down the falls is approximately 140 cubic metres per second. In winter that decreases to approximately 109 cubic metres per second.<\/p> <p>The roar of the falling water and the spray that it throws up as it falls makes for an exciting experience. In summer, on a sunny day, it is often possible to see a rainbow caused by the huge amounts of spray.<\/p> <p>And with such a force of water, visitors should not be surprised to find themselves occasionally drenched in the waterfall\u2019s spray.<\/p> <p>Access to Gullfoss is easy and everybody can see and experience its incredible force of nature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0152-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0152-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0152.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>Geysir<\/strong><\/p><p>The highly active Geysir area at Haukadalur contains the natural phenomena of boiling mud pools and exploding geysers.

In records dated 1630, the geysers erupted so violently that the valley around them trembled.<\/p><p>The place name \u201cGeysir\u201d was first mentioned in written sources in the 18th century and, as unusual natural phenomena were of high interest to the society during the Age of Enlightenment, the term became popular and has been used for similar hydrothermal features worldwide since then.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pingvellir-891329-1-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pingvellir-891329-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pingvellir-891329-1-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/icelandeverywhere.webdev.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pingvellir-891329-1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p><strong>\u00deingvellir<\/strong><\/p><p>\u00deingvellir (literally \u201cParliament Plains\u201d) is a beautiful and amazing place, as a site of historical, cultural and geological significance.
