Halgrimskirk Church in Reykjavik. Although Reykjavik itself is a small and not very isolated city, the Icelanders managed to create something that attracts attention. The unique church is inspired by another Icelandic natural wonder - the Black Falls. It has now become the most recognizable Icelandic building.

This is undoubtedly one of the biggest attractions in Iceland. A huge waterfall in the canyon on three-storey terraces comes from Khvitika. The surrounding waterfall is not civilization, but the natural landscape of Iceland. This is the place to visit when you arrive in Iceland.


The most beautiful radiance in the sky captivates the spirit of the modern generation. But once in ancient times, people were afraid of this glow. Only in the 18th century, the scientist M.V. Lomonosov discovered the riddle glow... You can see the northern lights not only at the North Pole, but in any city. it's just that at the North Pole, this phenomenon occurs much more often. The appearance of aurora depends on solar flares. IN modern world you can find out about outbreaks on the Internet. The tourist has approximately 2-5 days to get as close to the North Pole as possible. I would also like to note that the viewing can be hampered by bad weather, the glow of city lights, or daytime. The months September - March are considered to be the most active period, the year when the radiance occurs.

From here, you can see the peaks of the natural pyramids. Etna is one of largest volcanoes in the world and the highest European volcano in the eastern part of the island of Sicily, near Catania. To explore the volcano, you can take the train ride around Etna, which runs between Catania and Ripostos. In the absence of the danger of an eruption, you can also walk on a volcanic slug that swept through the scent of sulfur to the craters located above. The Romans believed that Mount Etna was the fire fort of the volcano god.


Volcano

As for volcanoes, there is no need to hunt for them, since the eruption occurs long time... Get to the current volcano not easy, because there are no such excursions in the world. Despite this, some tourists overcome the path in off-road vehicles and then climb on foot. Do not forget about the dangers of this trip, so you need to take an experienced guide with you. Despite all the danger of this trip, I would like to note that not a single excursion, even a dozen excursions, can be compared with the opportunity to see the red-hot lava firsthand.

The Poetic Grotto or the Italian grotta della Poetry received this title because poets are said to have been inspired by this place in the past. Legend has it that once a beautiful muse was pierced in this grotto - most likely, she was the source of inspiration for poetry. A romantic poetic grotto shaped by the Adriatic waves: on the coast near Rocchi Vecchia, it dripped, which has become one of the most beautiful and favorite sailing spots along the coast of Italy.

It is also called Saturnia Springs, located in sunny Tuscany. On the this moment the geothermal spring is struggling to create an impressive cascade and lakes. Legend has it that when the god Saturn, angry at people who constantly fought and wars, was struck by lightning on earth - it was there that hot springs flashed.


The volcano of the volcano, which is still active, is located a few dozen kilometers east of Naples. During this eruption, several cities - Pompeii, Stabia and Herculaneum - were destroyed, the archaeological ruins of which are widely visited by tourists.

And today you can see hot currents of volcanic gas, the so-called fumaroles, arising from volcanic cracks. The ridge moraine pillars range in color from yellow to pink to purple. Near the town of Alghero, the grotto of Neptune in western Sardinia is one of the most popular tourist attractions on this island. The name of the grove, named after the Roman god of the sea, was discovered by local fishermen several hundred years ago. In fact, it is a complete system of caves covering about 4 kilometers, but only a few hundred meters of the grove is open to visitors, decorated with a small lake and many stalagmites and stalactites.

Since ancient times, huge sparkling mountains have terrified people. In Ancient Greece they said: “God Vulcan works” - if red-hot stones, fire and ash flew from the mountain with a deafening roar. And they went to live far from the volcano, so as not to set fire to their homes, not to cover their gardens and fields with ashes.

To enter the Neptune Grove, you need to overcome the narrow-gauge track at the edge of the cliff, called the "gantry ladder". It is also possible to blow up a boat with a boat. Stromboli - active volcano in the Tyrrhenian Sea, in the Lipari Valley, off the coast of Sicily. A separate island volcano with an area of \u200b\u200b12.6 sq. km. Height - 926 m above sea level. Volcanic bombs are constantly depleted, light gases are ignited. Sometimes trachybasal lava appears. There were large eruptions... Despite regular eruptions, people live in Strombolis.

The island of Capri is 10 square meters. km between Naples and Salerno. Sunny beach of the island is rocky and high, with big amount groves, caves, arches. One of the most impressive streams on the island of Capri is the Blue Swan, which can be reached by boat. Tours are organized from the main island port of Marina Grande. A narrow groove allows you to enter a spacious grove where the sun's rays penetrate the sea with a pale blue color to the bottom.

In our time, scientists have long unraveled the nature of volcanoes... It's all about the structure of our planet. Inside it is a mantle - a thick, incandescent substance. The mantle that touches the surface of the planet is called magma - it is under pressure, just like carbonated drinks in a closed bottle. She is cramped inside and she is looking for a weak point in earth crust... Having found it, magma bursts out with a huge explosion and becomes lava.

On the west coast of Sicily, the salt fields lie in the province of Trapani near Pacheco. The salt in this area comes from ancient times because the climate is very favorable. The shallow coastline and the prevailing heat provide excellent conditions for this: salty seawater is pumped into certain pools, where the water evaporates, leaving white salts. An essential part of this landscape is the colorful windmills that pump water into the pools.

The Salt Museum is worth a visit, which details the ancient craftsmanship of the salt harvest and the tools used to do so Iceland's nature enchants, often makes you relax, forget about the worries and daily affairs of the world. Golden sandy beaches, wiped by cold ocean waves, green meadows with many colorful flowers and bright blue lakes, many large and even smaller fish on the hills. This is just one side of Iceland that calms down and relaxes.

At first, the lava flow has a temperature 1000 degrees and flows along the slopes of the volcano at a speed of up to 50 kilometers per hour. But in the air it cools and hardens, forming a hole in the earth's crust around - volcanic mountain... Pieces of solidified lava are pumice... Such a pebble is lighter than water, and inside it there are air bubbles. This is because the lava boiled and boiled, and then it froze.

The need for action, intrigue and excitement! Huge ice goblins gradually slide down, break and fall into the emerald lagoon with full weight. The water, swallowed by the scarecrow, begins to float towards the shore and float ice caves in the lagoon, thus creating a rhythm of sounds, but pleasant and gradually slowing down.

Come on, look at the clock and understand that you are "jumping out" for more than an hour. Iceland's nature is rich in rivers and impressive waterfalls, and there are many of them, due to the huge glaciers that occupy about 10 percent of the total area of \u200b\u200bIceland. Bursts of powerful waterfalls and sunbeams create the perfect phenomenon - one or more rainbows at a time.

But it happens that magma manages to find an easy exit to the surface of the Earth, then lava flows out of volcanoes without explosions - like boiling porridge, gurgling, overflows over the edge of a saucepan.

There are about 1500 volcanoesthat can be activated at any time. They're called sleeping... Many of them are underwater. There are those who act constantly, releasing smoke or a few sparks outside. Also, by nature, volcanoes can be extinct: they get this name if scientists are sure that there will be no more eruptions.

Ignition has always been a huge threat to life. It seems that the giant European ghost of Naples is slowly flowing from a deep sleep. It consists of many complex structures of underground cavities dating back hundreds of thousands of years and stretching from Naples to the underwater latitudes of the Mediterranean Sea.

Flange fields with a diameter of 11 kilometers in Caldera were about 200 thousand, 39 thousand, 35 thousand. and 12 thousand Almost half a million people now live in powerful volcano... However, recent changes in the volcanic area indicate that the calm period is nearing its end. For decades, the volcano has shown signs of roughness.
