Reykjav�k City is the capital of Iceland.

�ingvellir is where the old parliament was located. It is now a national park with some magnificent views.

Geysir is a hot water spring, and it blows occasionally. Much more alive is its fellow 'hot-water-spring' named Strokkur. One can always count on Strokkur to give some fancy shows if you wait ca. 5-20 minutes (depends on the weather).

Gullfoss is a "two-storey-high" waterfall about 10km from Geysir. The view there is magnificent.

Fl��ir is a small town in the southern part of the country, not very far from Gullfoss and Geysir, and is famous for it's mushrooms.

Hverager�i is also a small town in the southern part of the country about 45km away from Reykjav�k. In Hverager�i there are many greenhouses powered by the hot water from the earth.

Bl�a L�ni� (blue lagoon) is a pool of water that is located on the south-western corner of the country. It is a bluish pool (hence the name) which contains some stuff that psoriasis-patients find great to rub and smear on their body. Others find the lake or pool a great place to relax. The temperature of the lake ranges from warm to hot, and there are places in the water where no-one should go to as the temperature gets too high there and can cause a severe burns.
