Islandia Saga 🇮🇸. Episodio 2: El Círculo Dorado

Islandia Saga 🇮🇸. Episodio 2: El Círculo Dorado

“Water is the driving force of all nature” (Leonardo da Vinci) In this episode 2 of Iceland Saga 🇮🇸, we dedicate you to tour what in our opinion are the main tourist spots of what is popularly known as the “ Golden Circle”

In Iceland 🇮🇸: The first thing we did was leave the capital Reykjavík early towards Þingvellir National Park. Once there, we headed to the Öxarárfoss waterfall and later, to the place where two continental tectonic plates separate at the same time, whose name from this place gives its name to the park: Þingvellir. Later,

We went to the Geysires area, whose main attraction was the Geysir Strokkur: we recorded and took photos of its activity. For sunset we went to one of the waterfalls with the largest volumes of water in Iceland 🇮🇸: Gullfoss and finally we ended the day in the crater of the

Most photogenic volcano in Iceland: Kerið. Naturally, we did all these places in a rented vehicle, which means more freedom and greater flexibility when it comes to getting to know new places. Third day in Iceland 🇮🇸 and outside the capital, we are in the

Þingvellir (as pronounced) national park. What are we going to see here? mainly a place in this park called Öxarárfoss and it is a waterfall that is magical… I understand that some movies or series have been recorded there (we will see if it is true or not) but I am sure about that,

And secondly, let’s go Let’s see the Eurasian and North American Tectonic Plates that can be seen here because they are on the surface… now? Geologically it is very attractive, they are unparalleled places on this planet and we are certainly going to see this side of the fire without seeing fire,

But rather the evidence of the volcanic activity that once existed millions of years ago in this country. So nothing, come with me… As another important aspect that I forgot to mention… look at the landscape… how beautiful! TRUE?. ehhh… it’s the outfit. As

I had said before, ehh… this outfit is super different because it’s cold here, it’s raining a little, it’s windy, there are like the four seasons of the year on the same day, so nothing… all-terrain boots, windproof pants – also that

Cut the cold- a parka or coat that fulfills the same function, so let’s go… [Icelandic music] Ok, I don’t know if you’re going to hear it, but it wasn’t the waterfall if it wasn’t another one where it has been present in some movies or series (such as Vikings), this is not it! However,

What is striking about this whole place is that this corresponds to the beginning or the visible part of the two (tectonic) plates, right? Here we have stones of a basaltic nature: basaltic stones are characterized by being more or less geometric, which roughly indicates

Tectonic activity, but also volcanic activity and, what does that mean?… certainly that here you can see two bands, especially towards the back. , where you can see these two tectonic plates. Now we are going to go to another place where these plates can be seen in

A much more noticeable and visible way, and there we are going to point out which is which. Important for Geology and to understand the movement of the plates of this planet. We continue… – Rodolfo: How are you? How are you? How do you feel? – Tjaša ❤️: it’s beautiful,

It looks like a story, but I have to tell you that when you see this video, I don’t think it will look that beautiful. I had seen videos of this place and they seemed average to me but what is here is

Beautiful. No, no… the camera doesn’t do it justice. – Rodolfo: actually what I was going to tell you, that what the camera doesn’t see doesn’t do justice… Wow, I’m going to turn the camera around so it can be seen. Wow!, the rain is coming… in fact it is already raining but…

– Tjaša ❤️: do you think? – Rodolfo: Yes, look at the landscape. – Tjaša ❤️: This is coming here then… – Rodolfo: Exactly, so the rain is coming. We go by car, on a road trip and nothing… the spectacular landscapes. In the end,

I’m driving because Tjaša is more ecstatic with the landscapes and I… I’m interested in taking photos with this machine, which is a professional Nikon D850, for thick photos and for that I like to take photos waiting with patience and Tjaša not, it is more improvised.

So that, now where do we go? We came from the waterfall and now where are we going Tjaška ❤️? – Tjaša ❤️: Let’s see both… – Rodolfo: tectonic plates… So that’s it. Okay. And we have reached the area where the two planetary tectonic plates meet,

One of the largest. On this side the Eurasian Plate and there the North American Plate. The stones… that is, the tectonic plates usually collide in the sea and are visualized on the ground and in the marine subsoil, but in Iceland 🇮🇸 and in this park, it is the only place on the planet

Where you can geographically and geologically visualize the tectonic plates as they appear on the surface. Let us remember that Iceland 🇮🇸 is an island of volcanic origin, which emerged from the sea approximately 20 million years ago and that the

Tectonic activity of all these millions of years has caused this island to emerge from the sea floor and clearly these plates tectonics too. What does this mean specifically? That per year these tectonic plates are separating around, I think, 1 cm to 2

Cm per year, that is, nothingness itself: in millions of years we are clearly going to have a much more considerable separation. We continue exploring this place of tectonic plates and basaltic stones [Icelandic music]

Quick overview of the place: just to share, ehhh… an important thing and it is the same as what I said before, nothing more than to better show these tectonic plates that are the North American ,

Eurasian and here we have a better viewpoint. There, far, far, at the bottom, something is expelling like smoke, it’s actually the waterfall and nothing… ehhh, quite happy. It is also an important place because the Icelandic parliament met for the first time here,

One of the first in the world but also the first in Iceland 🇮🇸 that sought a little more law against the domination of the Norwegians of the Kingdom of Norway (Age Half). Iceland 🇮🇸 at this time belonged to the Kingdom of Norway after the arrival of the Vikings,

But we are already talking about a time of pagan Iceland 🇮🇸, but facing the Christians. The movement of these plates is divergent, that is, they separate. For this reason, the North American and Eurasian Plates move away from each other at a rate of between 1 and 18 millimeters per year. [ Icelandic

Music ] Well, we arrive at the geyser (“Geysir” as they say here in Iceland 🇮🇸), I have no idea what it is called, what the official name is, but ehhh… as you can see, there it is: go

Ahead my wife walks ❤️, and obviously we are going to visualize what surprises she brings us. And well, as you will see, fog… snowy…. I was going to say that it is not snowy… Fog. There is a slightly rotten egg smell and it is raining.

And for that reason I am wearing a hat (with two hats), right, and with the outfit and the all-terrain camera that withstands rain because it is hermetically sealed with titanium, so I am grateful for Nikon and nothing: back here are the first geysers that here in Iceland 🇮🇸 is

Called “Geysir” and in fact the word geysers means specifically… “Geysir” – “Geiser” in Spanish. In fact, the original word for “geyser” is “geysir” and it is an Icelandic word. That’s where the word comes from… this concept. We are in a tourist rush hour and from that perspective

– as will be seen back here – there are many people who go to look at the geysers but what we saw is only the beginning. Geysers are something natural on this planet and respond

A little to the tectonic activity that is generated beneath the earth: in fact I am going to turn around, but if you look in front it is very full, very full of people waiting for the eruption. …. (Explanation): On our planet there are at least

Two types of geysers: cone type and fountain type. In both cases, their common denominator is having underground water sources that rise every time when they come into direct contact with the magma. In the case of the Strokkur geyser, when the

Thermal water comes into contact with the magma, it erupts on average every 4 to 8 minutes, with an average height of 15 to 20 meters, sometimes reaching 40. (Continued): but we are… It’s 2:00 PM in the afternoon here, approximately 1:00 PM,

And it’s very full, very full, so nothing, keep going, try to take photos, I want to show this again because here we have a geyser that is bubbling and Let’s see what happens. For now, enjoying and the truth is that I’m quite happy. We continue with this journey…

And well we arrive at the area of ​​the geysers or “Geysirs” and we are in the largest geyser in this area which is called “Strókkur” or “Strokkur” (I am not a specialist in the Icelandic language, so I pronounce I know what I’m thinking, right?) and there it is starting to bubble, which

Was the most important thing, let’s see if it explodes to the top, but that’s it. What characterizes these geysers is that first it is a water that fluctuates between 80 to 100 degrees Celsius, second it smells a little like rotten

Eggs – this is a product of the accompanying gases and the minerals I imagine it accompanies, of course, to this, and third The thing is that you can’t get too close because obviously you run the risk of dying, of getting burned: the temperatures are extremely high,

So that’s it. In truth, it is wonderful to be here to see geysers of this type, which suddenly jump or rise to a great height and that is certainly a natural phenomenon of nature, especially in lands that are seismic, which are… where there are subduction plates or that they are volcanic. In

This case in Iceland 🇮🇸 there is subduction and there are volcanic plates at the same time, so from that perspective fine. So that’s what we’re going to try to see if something jumps and try to capture… And how about it? Nice, right? Here I have a geyser or Geysir behind me, and behind me are the others that we just saw, within them, what you saw as that explosion of water. Now with this

We close this part of the geysers (which each one has a different name) and we are probably going to go to the waterfall (I don’t remember its name) but there we are going to point out its name,

Because Icelandic is very complicated . So I leave you with this and this vision and see you… [ Icelandic music ] How majestic, huh?: the Gullfoss waterfall, here in the Golden Circle of Iceland 🇮🇸. The

Important thing about this waterfall – in addition to its beauty – is that some of the most iconic scenes from certain movies have been signed here : one of the ones I remember is from “Prometheus” which is the prequel

To “Alien” and the movie “Prometheus” was filmed a little further back, in that small outcrop of rocks (where the people are – I don’t know if they can see), but obviously, with the change made with computers, CGI technology and all that, they achieved certain changes, right? But many of

These places have been used for movies, one of them is “Prometheus” as we already mentioned, The Lord of the Rings and others, such as Star Wars (but the movie Rogue One ) So that, let’s see what is woven inside this waterfall or near this waterfall

[Icelandic Music] Here we have another vision of the Gullfoss waterfall and nothing. Totally surprising, although there are many tourists, the peace that is breathed is priceless, the tranquility is priceless and I think that neither my face nor the landscape do justice to what you really see. If anyone has the opportunity to come

, do so, and although there are many other wonders of the planet, I consider that each country has a region and a place where each place is special: in this case Iceland 🇮🇸, tectonic plates and above all this waterfall, I think they are one of the special wonders that this beautiful country has.

– Rodolfo: Little one ❤️, what is your opinion of the place?… wait, I want to place you with the view of the waterfall, so that people can take photos. But yes… – Tjaša ❤️: It is beautiful, much more beautiful than one sees it in movies, not movies,

Photos and I love it because it is in the middle of nowhere, just as there are no cities… the last time we saw one city ​​ago – Rodolfo: Reykjavík, in the morning, like 7:00 AM in the morning. – Tjaša ❤️: then there were other

Little ones, which are like more towns, like that, 40 or 50 km long, like pure plains and nothing… it’s beautiful. – Rodolfo: Super. So that Love ❤️. Are you happy, are you happy to be here? – Tjaša ❤️: like each thing

We see is more beautiful than the other. – Rodolfo: Like everything surprises more. So that’s it Tjaška, see you next time, I mean, we’re going to go more in depth, be near the waterfall to see another viewpoint and from there we’re going to Sellfoss

To refuel with gasoline, and from there we’ll go to… – Tjaša ❤️: most likely to a crater. – Rodolfo: To a crater of a volcano, but in extinction, that is, it is extinct, right?, but there is a lagoon. So that, Iceland 🇮🇸 surprises. That’s the summary and be careful that we are

In summer, but we are that sheltered, like an orphan goat (boy)… I don’t know if it’s an orphan goat (boy) … what was it like? son… as an only child. – Tjaša ❤️: As an orphan he wouldn’t be like this, he would be shitting from the cold. – Rodolfo: And it’s summer.

Be careful with that here in the lands of the Arctic Circle that love. Pa pa…bye. [Icelandic music] And at the end of the day, we arrived at a quote-unquote extinct volcano. It is assumed that it was the product of a big explosion, it filled with water and finally that is what exists today.

Iceland 🇮🇸 is attractive for its geography and geology, therefore you have to really like geography so that you can… so that this can seem magical to you. I insist that the images do not do this justice. What we’re mainly going to do is go walk all over this top,

All over this top, all over this top, right? then turn around here, right’ and go down there, which is where there are people who are already going down to the ground to be able to visualize this. Very attractive, very beautiful Iceland 🇮🇸, nothing more is expected tomorrow, so

We are going to report in such a way that things can be of pleasure and learning for everyone. – Rodolfo: Tjaša, short. – Tjaša ❤️: Shortly, we are at our last stop today, a Kerið crater I think it’s called…. – Rodolfo: I think it’s called Kerið, or something like that

– Tjaša ❤️: 20 km from our stop today, where we are going to stay and spend the night. It’s beautiful, look at this water and all this green around, it’s beautiful! – Rodolfo: to take a panoramic view of the place, this is the Icelandic landscape,

Geology, volcanoes, tectonic plates and an excellent climate. That… Love, bye! In this western area of ​​the Iceland Volcanoes 🇮🇸, this spectacular volcanic crater lake called by the Vikings themselves as “The Eye of the World”, is about 3000 years old. Geologists have been able to determine that after an eruption,

The camera of magma was emptied, causing the ground to sink. Thus, the Kerið crater was not formed by an explosion, as originally thought, but rather collapsed under its own weight, which in reality turns it into a caldera In the next episode of Iceland Saga 🇮🇸, we will begin touring the main

Tourist spots that have made this country famous: our fourth day we will continue with what I have called “the water route”, specifically taking photos and recording the most famous and instagrammable waterfalls in Iceland 🇮🇸 and which have been responsible for making this country one of the main European

And world tourist destinations. All the water courses of the waterfalls that we will visit emanate from the Mýrdalsjökull Glacier. We will head west to east, being the first Seljalandsfoss waterfall, where you can even walk behind it. Later, we will go to one

Of the most majestic and imposing in southern Iceland 🇮🇸: Skógafoss, a waterfall that is undoubtedly the reason for viral Instagram photos, marriage proposals and Viking series. We will end the day with one of the most beautifully designed sites by the

Geological action of Mother Earth and where water has done its work: the Kvernufoss waterfall. Subscribe, like the video, comment on your impressions of the beauties that comprise the Golden Circle and share it with your friends and family. This way you will help me

Position my work and my project to more people in their suggestions and search results, and in the process, help everyone who wants to visit this wonderful and impressive country. Until next time!

Tras haber estado en la capital de Islandia 🇮🇸, Rejkyavík, el tercer día comenzamos a recorrer los lugares más famosos del este y el sur de Islandia 🇮🇸 y los que han hecho que este país sea famoso en la red social Instagram, como a escala de turismo en general. En consecuencia, el cuarto día se lo dedicamos al Círculo Dorado, región que se localiza al este de la península de Rejkyanes y que contiene todas las maravillas geológicas y naturales que te muestro en este video. ¡Ciertamente este videovlog muestra nuestras emociones, impresiones también muchas explicaciones geográficas!

¡Espero que disfrutes de este videovlog del Círculo Dorado islandés!
