The next day we went on a tour in the country where we saw, again, beautiful landscapes, but also some scientific and cultural sites. We first stopped at the Nesjavellir Powerplant, a geothermal power plant supplying heating and hot water through hundreds of kilometre of pipes mounted on some sort of suspension against earth movement due to the high volcanic action.
On that same tour, we ended up walking in a big canyon that is formed by the separation of the North American and European tectonic plates. It is also the location where the first people of Iceland gathered and discuss political and social issues regarding the community. The speaker would stand on top of a big rock and because of the shape of the cliff behind, his voice would be heard by everybody. A kind of open-air theatre.
