A rift, a geyser, a waterfall and a crater, in the order the tours run them. Weighing up Golden Circle day tours Reykjavík Iceland? These are the places the day takes you.

The set opens in the rift valley at Þingvellir. A railed path runs down between mossy lava walls at sunset, a water-filled fissure cuts through the moss seen from the air, and the small white church stands with its row of gabled houses beside the river.

Then it moves to the geothermal field. Strokkur throws its column above the steam, and one frame catches the turquoise dome that swells over the vent a moment before it goes.

After that comes Gullfoss, once under a grey summer sky with the cliff path beside it and once half frozen in winter. Kerið follows, red and green walls around a blue lake, seen from the rim and from the air.

The set closes on the three things some days add to the loop: a steaming pool beside an old stone hut, Icelandic horses at a fence, and a line of snowmobiles crossing the ice cap.
