9:46 PM

Another western toursim places would like to explore here-- Iceland.
How i've been introduce to this place? Is through the travelling channel on astro [Passport to Europe with Samantha]. Really fall in love with this natural world in Iceland. What a wonderful nice natural place. So, today, i am going to post as many as the wonderful nice photos which i found it online here. For those who love nature, for sure, Iceland will be one of your dream tourism place :-p

Gullfoss
First of all, would like to post the nice photos of The Golden Waterfall (Gullfoss).Gullfoss is Iceland's most famous waterfall, and one of the natural
wonders of the world. Gullfoss is also by far Europe's most powerful waterfall. On a sunlit day, the mist clouds surrounding the hammering falls are filled with dozens of rainbows, providing an unparalleled spectacle of color and motion. What a nice scenery!

Reykjavik

There are quite a lots of nice spot at Reykjavik. Included the city center, the harbor, Hallgrimskirkja Church which is the tallest building in iceland, the National Museum ,The Blue Lagoon, Hot spring, geyser, waterfall, hourse riding. volcano, and many others. Interesting right? Let's go into details :-p

Hallgrimskirkja Church

Hallgrimskirkja church is Reykjavik's main landmark and its tower can be seen from almost everywhere in the city. It is located at the top of the shoppin street Skolavordusitgur. Hallgrimskirkja is the largest church in Iceland. The 73 m high church tower provides excellent views all over Rejkjavik. In front of the church is a statue of Iceland-born Leifur Eiriksson, aka "Leif the Lucky", the first European to discover America around 1000 A.D



The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is Iceland's famous geothermal spa where guests relax in seawater heated by Mother Nature. A visit to the Blue Lagoon (40 min. from Reykjavik) is an invigorating experience year-round, whether surrounded by snow in the middle of winter, or during the long days of the Icelandic summer.

Husavik

Whale watching is one of the most popular tourist activities in Iceland, and for good reason. Success rates of seeing the world’s largest mammals in their natural habitat are much greater than 95%. The most common whales spotted are the friendly minke whales but also blue whales, humpback whales, sei and fin whales, killer whales and of course a number of dolphins including white beaks and harbor porpoises.
Tours, which last from a few hours to most of the day, depart from several locations in Iceland such as Reykjavik, Breiddalsvik in the East, Olafsvik in the West, and the Westman Islands in the South.
The most popular spot for whale watching is from Husavik in the north of the country, which is regarded by many as the ’Whale Watching Capital of Europe.’ Cruises are made on a quiet, old-fashioned oak boat and on shore there is an exhibition center dedicated to the many species of whales that sport in the bay.
The whale watching season runs from May to September.



Westfjords-- Latrabjarg

Iceland is a paradise for birdwatchers. Latrabjarg in the West Fjords is the largest bird cliff in the world. A great variety of cliff-nesting species can be found there, including the largest razorbill colony in the world.



South of the Iceland-- Reynisfjara Beach
Reynisfjara Beach is a natural black sand and pebble beach with some larger boulders. There are also a lots of interesting basalt caves by the beach.



South-east of Iceland-- Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon

Jökulsárlón is the best known and the largest of a number of glacial lakes in Iceland. It is situated at the south end of the glacier Vatnajökull between Skaftafell National Park and Höfn. It is also one of the most famous attractions in the south east of Iceland. Many commercials and several major international motion pictures have been filmed at this exotic location, including James Bond's “Die Another Day” and “Batman Begins”.



There are still have a lots of waterfall in iceland, bird watching spots, glacier, national parks, museums and gallery which i didn't mention here. Really too many nice spots in Iceland.

Other beaches on the Iceland include: Álftanes Beach (Greater Reykjavik Area), Djúpárlónssandur Beach (East Iceland), Budir and kirkjubol Beach in the West Iceland.

Other glacier spots: Myrdalsjokull glacier, Langjokull glacier, Solheimajokull glacier, Vatnajokull galcier, Tindfjallajokull glacier, Evjafjallajokull glacier, Torfajokull galcier, Tungnafellsjokull galcier and also Hofsjokull galcier.
