See the stunning Gullfoss – Icelandandrsquo;s Golden Waterfall

Did you know that Gullfoss literally translates to Golden Waterfall in Icelandic? If youandrsquo;re visiting the Golden Circle on a sunny day, youandrsquo;ll see that the water looks golden-brown. The unusual colour comes from the millions of sediments from the Earth that has been carried by the glacial water for centuries!

Witness Geysir and Strokkur erupt

You wonandrsquo;t have to wait long to see the famous hot springs erupt – water shoots out ever 6-10 minutes. The geysers are an impressive sight – they usually reach 15-20meters, but sometimes the water reaches up to 40m!
