2. Hvítá (Ölfusá) River 

2.png

The river has its source in the glacial lake Hvítárvatn on Langjökull near the Bláfell. After about 40 kilometers, the Hvítá falls over the Gullfoss waterfall into a narrow gorge. The average amount of water at Gullfoss is 100–180 m³ / s in summer and 50–110 m³ / s in winter. The highest amount of water ever measured was 2000 m³ / s, the water catchment area covers 1,644 km².

Behind the Gullfoss, the Hvítá flows along the border between the districts of Biskupstunga and Hrunamannahreppur. Two larger rivers flow into the Hvítá: Tungufljót and Brúará. After the Stóra-Laxá has also added its water, the river contains twice the amount of water compared to that at Gullfoss.

It now flows through the Icelandic lowlands at Grímsnes and past Mount Ingólfsfjall. With the flow wake it joins the flow Ölfusá, further through the city Selfoss flows and in the Atlantic opens, wherein the Ölfusá a wide mouth area, a kind of lagoon forms.

In winter, the Hvítá can sometimes overflow its banks and flood larger areas.

 

3. Kerið Crater 

3.png

Kerið is approximately three thousand years old, making it roughly half the age of most volcanic calderas found in Iceland. This is the major reason as to why Kerið’s slopes are red in colour, rather than a volcanic black; the iron deposits are, geologically speaking, fresh.

This vivid redness is part of the appeal of visiting this crater. The crimson rocks contrast dramatically with their surroundings, particularly the intense azure colour of the waters within the crater lake, and the verdant bursts of vegetation.

Kerið is approximately 55 metres (180 feet) deep, 170 metres (558 feet) wide and 270 meters (886 feet) in circumference. It is possible to take a path right to the crater’s edge, to fully encircle it, and to descend down to the pristine waters of the crater lake.

Many crater lakes can be found in nearby, a region known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone. The area surrounding it is of barren, stark lava fields, further illustrating the volcanism of the region.

Scientists believe that Kerið was once a cone-shaped volcano. Upon eruption, it is widely believed that the volcano depleted its magma reserve, causing the foundation to fall in upon itself and result in the formation it has today. Of course, this was two thousand years before settlement, so no one is quite certain.

At some point in the centuries following the collapse, Kerið crater filled with water. The resulting lake is between seven and fourteen metres deep, depending on the time of year and the amount of rainfall.

The reason why the lake is so vividly coloured is that of the minerals from the rocks, seeping into and dyeing the water the aquamarine colour for which it is renowned.

六、历史文化

1.历史

The community was created on June 1, 1998 from the merger of the two rural communities Grímsnes (Grímsneshreppur) and Grafningur (Grafningshreppur).

The settlement Írafoss og Ljósafoss, which had 15 inhabitants in 1997, has now been abandoned.

Sólheimar (Sunworlds) was founded on July 5, 1930 by a pioneering woman: Sesselja Sigmundsdóttir (1902-1974). She was a pedagogical innovator who was specifically interested in caring people with mental challenges as well as organic horticulture. In 1930, when Sesselja moved to Iceland, she kept in contact with other pioneers in organic farming and anthroposophy around Europe as the preparation to create a physical space where childcare could be achieved in a self-sustained community in a land with streams, hot springs and other natural surroundings.

On March 31, 1930, The childcare Committee of the Church of Iceland, purchased the land known as Hverakot for isk 8,000. Sesselja leased the land and founded Sólheimar, that started out as a fosterhome on her 28th birthday, the 5th of July 1930 with the arrival of the first five foster children and at first they all lived in tents In the fall of 1931, five children with mental challenges arrived to Sólheimar, while the first building, Selhamar, was constructed specifically for the developmentally disabled children in 1932 and 1933 with the support of Parliament. After World War II, besides Sesselja's foster children and the summer children, nearly all the children in Sólheimar had disabilities.

Today all activities in Sólheimar are based on Sesselja's lifework and visions: what started out as an isolated and primitive settlement in 1930 with around ten small children has now become a modern, self-supporting eco-village with organic farming, thermal and solar energy and with a thriving cultural life. Inspired by the theories of Rudolf Steiner, Sesselja’s focus was the interaction between the individual and the environment. She was a passionate advocate for integrating children with and without disabilities, and it was here in Sólheimar where this vision was brought to life. She made a home for children in Sólheimar and focused her work on organic horticulture (the first in the Nordic countries), healthy food and artistic expression. Many of these ideas sparked controversy with the authorities because at the time, it was perceived that “healthy” children should not play with those with special needs. It was also viewed that the high-vegetable diet promoted by Sesselja was, in fact, not healthy for the children. Although Sesselja's proactive ideas were hard to be accepted, such disagreements have faded into history and the Sólheimar community continues to support a healthy lifestyle for everyone in the village.

Swedish summer atmosphere dominates Hraunborgir in Grímsnes during the Swedish Midsummer Festival, Hraunborgir town holds a Miðsumarhátíðina (s. Midsommar) festival annually, which all those who have lived in Sweden know well.

The festival is organized by the locals in Hraunborgar and the Swedish embassy, where the program will be tight and there will be a lot on offer for the whole family.

Håkan Juholt, Sweden's ambassador to Iceland, says the midsummer festival (s. Midsummer) is this big, mysterious Swedish festival that people from all over the world are so curious about.

"I have felt a great deal of interest among Icelanders during the Swedish midsummer, as many have experienced it first-hand in Sweden. That is why we are organizing this big festival here and we hope that it will be repeated every year in the future. "

Håkan says that it is planned to build the flower-adorned Maypole and then dance around it.

"For Sweden, midsummer is the real national holiday. This great summer festival where generations come together. Food is an important part of the celebrations - the herring and the snaffin are the most important. On Saturday, there will be lessons about herring and snafs. "

Håkan says that he himself has composed a few questions in a question walk (s. Tipspromenad ) and then the song Små grodorna has finally been translated into Icelandic.

"It is necessary to sing that song when dancing around the pole. Swedes are used to it raining in midsummer, but then the mood will be much better in the party tents. We are therefore ready for all the weather on Saturday, "says Håkan.
