Visit Thingvellir National Park, the most significant historical site in Iceland. The Alpingi, the original site of the Icelandic Parliament, was established there in 930 CE.

Nearby, the "Great Geysir" Strokkur spouts and sprays water 30-35 meters in the air every 3-8 minutes.

Around the site are lots of colorful hot springs, steaming vents, warm streams, and psychedelic algae and mineral deposits.

When the sun is shining, you are likely to see a rainbow through the ample spray that forms.
