The Golden Circle

Friday, May 19, Reykjavik

The weather has completely changed - it is sunny and in the 50's. Locals are in tee shirts. We still have our coats.

We take a tour around what is called the Golden Circle. We see beautiful landscapes, snow covered mountains, waterfalls, geysers, and the rift between the North American and European tectonic plates. Lots and lots of 'Kodak' moments. I will let the photos speak for themselves.

This area is way overdue for a volcanic eruption of massive scale
