One of the unique features of Gullfoss is that it appears to disappear into the earth as it cascades down the two tiers.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavík, la capitale più settentrionale del mondo, è una città colorata e compatta di arte e musica che si apre sui paesaggi vulcanici islandesi.

La chiesa di Hallgrímskirkja, con la torre ispirata alle colonne di basalto, si innalza sopra strade di case dipinte con colori vivaci. Giù al porto, la sala da concerti Harpa, dalle facciate di vetro, scintilla sull'acqua, e la scultura Sun Voyager guarda il mare verso il monte Esja. Laugavegur, la principale via dello shopping, è fiancheggiata da negozi di design, caffè e bar.
