Guide til sightseeingture i Island: De bedste tips og vigtigste viden

Sightseeing på Island tilbyder rejsende et unikt plateau af geologiske træk, fra dominerende bjerglandskaber til til udskårne og krogede kyststrækninger.

Islands dannelse startede for omkring 18 millioner år siden, da der steg lava op fra Den Midtatlantiske Ryg, som efterfølgende blev afkølet på havoverfladen. Denne proces fortsætter i dag. Den urgamle energi, der formede det land, vi ser i dag, viser sig ofte på jordoverfladen i form af geotermiske områder og varme kilder. 

Denne intense blanding af elementer har frembragt mange andre naturfænomener, bl.a. fumaroler, gejsere og boblende mudderpøle, hvilket giver en unik mulighed for at se og lugte jorden, mens den giver og bevæger sig pga. varme og tryk. 

Vand er et gennemgående træk i Islands landskab. I form af store gletsjere, der skyder igennem landskabet, kraftig regn, voldsomme atlanterhavsbølger og rivende floder. Der er utallige vandfald. Nogle siver stille frem fra lavaplateauer, og andre er buldrende kaskader af vand, der falder lodret fra det indre højland. Der er ganske enkelt for mange til, at man kan tælle dem, og de udgør en fast bestanddel af alle sightseeingsruter i landet. 

Is dominerer en stor del af landskabet, og 11 % af øen er dækket med gletsjere. Besøgende kan beundre disse gletsjere på afstand eller benytte lejligheden til at se dem tæt på. Gletsjerne lader ofte dramatiske fjorde tilbage, og disse fjorde er i dag blevet et af de karakteristisk træk ved den islandske kystlinje.

Der er mange fantastiske og meget varierede klippeformationer. Fra havklipper, der bryder bølgerne, til basaltsøjler – den ene mere fantastisk end den anden. En stor del af dette gamle lands overflade er dækket af dramatiske lavafelter, og de er ofte dækket af et tykt lag mos.

Rejsende i Island finder hele tiden noget nyt at opleve, eftersom landskabet forvandles dramatisk fra årstid til årstid. Om sommeren bliver man mødt af imponerende vandfald med de fineste regnbuer, og om vinteren bliver samme vandfald til isbeklædte kæmper.

Uanset hvorfra eller hvornår du tager med på en sightseeingtur, så kan du godt glæde dig til en unik og uforglemmelig oplevelse, for ikke at tale om utallige smukke fotomotiver.
