I hitchhiked from the info center at Þingvellir National Park to Geyser and the waterfall Gullfoss. Gullfoss runs down two faults through an incredible canyon, and geyser is the one that gave the name "geyser" to all geysers ☺️ (though its neighbor Strokkur is the one erupting more often these days). Both are very touristy but incredible sights; definitely worth seeing. I didn't wait long to catch a lift and I met some interesting people on my way, including a British geologist who gave me some fascinating insight. I'll explain it all later in my peertube videos 😉

From @joannechocolat

Sigríður Tómasdóttir (1871–1957) was an Icelandic environmentalist whose activism helped preserve the Gullfoss waterfalls, protecting them from industrialization.

She is widely seen as Iceland's first #environmentalist and is memorialized on a sculpture near #Gullfoss.
