Although it is near the capital, as soon as you leave Reykjavik, untouched nature spreads.

Compared to other areas, the scenery has a slightly idyllic atmosphere with trees growing.
This is the ingvellir (Singvellir), where the world’s first democratic assembly was held in 930.



The Eurasian and North American plates at the bottom of the ocean have both appeared on Earth, which is said to be “the fissure of earth.
Next is the largest waterfall in Iceland, Gullfoss.
There is almost always a rainbow.

Next, the word Geysir (gayseal) was derived from "geyser" which means geyser in English.


This is what happens every few minutes.

The area is one of Iceland’s best tourist destinations, so there are many people around here.
But when I leave, there is another view that no one else has.










Iceland experienced a major economic crisis during the 2008 global financial crisis, but it has since been restored to V-shaped.
When I went to 2004, the impression was that it is breathtaking for nature which can not be reached by any person at all, and that it is very safe and easy for people. It seems to have been through a history where we must help each other, but it was a warm atmosphere for everyone.
The second When I went to Araphos, where the studio of Cigar Ross was located, when I missed one bus every hour, a bus found this and came by and picked it up like a taxi.
Moreover, I originally took a transfer ticket that would be free for transfer within an hour when I got off at the time of departure (although there is no connection), but when I tried to pay normally on my way home, it was kindness enough to say from the driver "It's because if you give me the ticket earlier" (I am worried about whether these people will make money in this case. )
There are many other amazing daily life, and if you twist the tap of a water supply in this country, soft mineral water will come out as usual when you turn towards hot springs.
By the way, the most famous hot spring in this country is "Blue Lagoon", which is the world's largest open-air bath (which really is too big), but 100% natural outdoor baths are numerous around the island.
It is warm for latitude because of the warm current coming, and it is not colder than Hokkaido.
I recommend it to a variety of people (laughs), but if you are interested, please go there someday.
