Built in 1930, it is a landmark building in Reykjavik. The church has a novel design and is a pipe organ structure. The main hall is more than 30 meters high and can accommodate 1,200 people. The main tower is 72 meters high. You can take the elevator to the top floor to overlook the entire capital. ✔️Thingvellir National Park: Located near Reykjavik, it is the site of the world's oldest democratic parliament. Now it has become a place where the Icelandic people hold festive events. The national park is close to the Icelandic Rift Valley attraction, which is the boundary between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates. As one of the filming locations of "Game of Thrones", it is well known to many fans of the show. ✔️Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon: Located at the southern end of Vatnajökull, the lake bottom is 200 meters deep and is the second deepest lake in Iceland. The lake is blue and clear, with oversized ice cubes of different shapes floating on the lake. Taking an amphibious boat on the glacier lake to watch ice floes of different shapes is a major feature of this glacier tour. Movies such as "Tomb Raider", "The Birth of Batman", "Who Should Be Confronted", "The King of Conquers" and more have all been filmed here. ✔️Dettifoss: A waterfall near Lake Myvatn in Jökulsárgljúfur National Park. Its source is the Vatnajökull Icefield and flows into the Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon. It is about 100 meters wide and 44 meters high. It is considered to be one of the waterfalls with the largest drop and largest flow in Europe. . Due to the large amount of water in Dettifoss, you can find the location of the waterfall by hearing the sound of water. ✔️Waterfall of the Gods: Near the famous Lake Myvatn in Iceland, it is named after a legend. In 999 or 1000 AD, Iceland converted to Christianity, and the gods of Viking belief were thrown into this waterfall. The waterfall is just off Highway 1, and you can park your car to get a closer look at the whole thing. The drop of the waterfall is not that big, and you can also see experts kayaking. ☀️Self-driving in Iceland is a journey about exploration and discovery. Here, you will witness the endless charm of nature and feel the shock and baptism of your soul.
