Thingvellir, where Iceland's first parliament met from about the year 930, is a famous place in the country's story. New horses have not been allowed into the country for about a thousand years, so the breed has stayed pure. The horses are small and hardy, and many can do a special smooth gait.

    Blue morpho butterfly

    Answer: Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica

    Blue morphos live in the rainforests of Central and South America. Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica is a warm, wet place where you can see them flapping along the rivers and canals. Their wings flash bright blue when open, and look brown with eye-like spots when folded. That helps them vanish among the leaves.
