Adventure in Iceland
Huge glaciers, impressive geysers, beautiful beaches; Iceland really does have it
all! And what better way to spend a holiday than exploring its natural wonders. If
you think that travelling around and seeing the beauty of nature is more interesting
than sitting in the sun all day, then Iceland is the place to go.

Geysir and Strokkur

Some of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland are the two huge geysers,
Geysir and Strokkur. Nowadays Geysir doesn’t spray water very often, but Strokkur
is just 100 metres away from Geysir and it sprays water every few minutes, so
visitors are sure to see the amazing sight. There is a lot of geothermal activity in
the area, so you can also see bubbling pools of mud or swim in relaxing hot
springs.

Vik i Mýrdal
The beach at Vik is one of the most beautiful in the world. It is special because it
has black sand, cliffs, large rocks in the sea near the beach and lots of seabirds and
marine life. It is more popular with photographers than with swimmers, however,
because the water is cold and the waves are extremely dangerous.

Jökulsárlón Lake
Jökulsárlón Lake is the deepest lake in Iceland and also the most famous. The lake
is at the bottom of a glacier, and icebergs break off the glacier and float in the lake.
Many icebergs are a bright blue colour, which is very unusual. Everyone can walk
around the lake and more adventurous people can go on an exciting boat trip
among the icebergs.
Iceland is one of the strangest and most beautiful places on earth. So, next time
you go on holiday, why not experience something truly unforgettable?

1 Which geyser sprays water nowadays? ...........................................................

2 What else can you see near the geysers? .......................................................
3 What is special about Vik i Mýrdal? ................................................................
4 What colour are the icebergs at Jökulsárlón Lake? ...........................................
