Thingvellir

Thingvellir national park lies along the rift where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates diverge. Thingvellir national park is the site where the Althing parliament was founded in 930, one of the oldest parliaments in the world. The Thingvellir national park features deep fissures filled with crystal-clear water and extensive lava fields covered with soft moss. The lakes in Thingvellir national park, such as Silfra, offer visibility up to 100 meters. Visitors to Thingvellir national park can observe ravens flying above, symbolically linked to Odin in Norse mythology.
