Iceland, the most beautiful sight at the end of the world, a 6-day 5-night travel guide
Iceland, the most beautiful sight at the end of the world, a 6-day 5-night travel guide. Iceland is surprisingly fun💎, majestic, gentle, and clear, it is the place where the scenery I've seen with my own eyes is even more beautiful than the great shots on Instagram. To be honest, the travel guides for Iceland are quite general, you know where to go, but it's not clear what to do after you get there. So I've tried to write my guide as detailed as possible💎, friends who want to go to Iceland remember to keep it, and just follow it to play.

⭐In Iceland
1. There is no tipping culture in Iceland. Icelandic merchants will clearly mark prices to avoid hidden costs.
2. In case of emergencies, politely ask the staff, Icelandic merchants' restrooms can be used for free. Now, large supermarkets have mother and baby restroom facilities at the entrance, which can be used for free.
3. Iceland is part of the Schengen Area but not the European Union, most tourists traveling to Iceland with a passport can get tax refunds, remember to ask the merchant about tax refunds after purchasing goods

🌌Essentials for life
-Really bring a thermos! (It's easy to drink cold air outside every day, and it's easy to get a stomachache, you can make a cup of ginger tea to warm your stomach after returning)
-Warm packs! (When going out to chase the Northern Lights, you really will shiver from the cold at night, put a few warm packs in your pocket, it really will be much warmer)
-Face masks! (Repair masks are really needed, every day the face is dry and red from the wind and rain, and Iceland is also quite dry, you must hydrate in time🥹)

💠Dressing Guide
⬆️Upper body: Quick-dry underwear (very important, can prevent catching a cold after sweating) + warm layer (fleece, thin down) + softshell jacket (can be worn when the wind is not strong and the weather is clear) / hardshell jacket (must add when there is rain or going to waterfalls)
⬇️Lower body: Warm layer (add when the temperature is low) + softshell pants + hardshell pants (must add when there is rain or going to waterfalls)
👟Shoes: Waterproof hiking shoes
🎩Hat: If it's a wool hat, it's best to have a windproof layer, lining
🧦Socks: Quick-dry socks/wool socks, double-layer socks are recommended

⚠️The premise of everything is to be warm and waterproof, many waterfall attractions or weather require waterproof clothing, gloves must also be brought, it's very cold for hands; bringing a windproof face mask is really important, if you don't bring it, the wind will really blow into your stomach...
Because Iceland is located on the mid-Atlantic ridge, it is a multi-volcano, geological landform with frequent geological activity, sandy texture, cooled lava plains and glaciers, it will have hot vapors below the surface all year round, and the response above the ground is full of smoke. I named it: the country with the most hot gas in the world. The picture is a big geyser. [View] Very beautiful. [Interesting] Very high. [Cost-effective] Very high.
Great Geysers (Great Geysir) Iceland's geysers, world famous geysers. Located about 80 kilometers northeast of Reykjavik, Iceland's capital. Near Khikadal in southwest Iceland. Geysers, as the name suggests, are intermittent eruption hot springs, mostly in areas where volcanoes are active. In volcanic activity areas, lava causes the formation to hydrate into water vapor, which rises along the cracks and condenses into very hot water when the temperature drops below the vaporization point, erupting every interval, forming geysers. When the eruption, only listen to the rumbling of the hole, gradually, the sound is getting bigger and bigger, and the boiling water is also rising, and finally rushing out of the hole to the high altitude, the water column becomes steam straight to the sky, and even there are two water columns sprayed, up to 20 or 30 meters, and then turned into Qiongzhu broken jade fell. Each eruption lasts about 1 ~ 2 minutes, and then gradually subsides. This process starts over and over again.
World famous geyser. Located about 80 kilometers northeast of Reykjavik, Icelandic capital. Near Khikadal in southwest Iceland. The Icelandic geysir means geyser. The fountain circle pool is 18 meters in diameter and 1 . 2 meters deep. The spring eye is 10 cm in diameter and the spring water temperature is more than 100 degrees.
There are not too many people, it feels so cool to not have to queue for a long line, the experience is great
The most impressive geothermal landscape, every 5 to 10 minutes, a warm water and hot gas on the ground will instantly spray a column of water up to 10 to 12 meters high, the scene is extremely spectacular
Geysir is one of the most stunning nature reaction that I have seen in my life !
