- Thingvellir National Park - Thingvellir is renowned for being the site of Iceland’s ancient parliament, the Althing, which was established in 930 AD, making it one of the world’s oldest parliamentary institutions. The park’s name, “Thingvellir,” means “Parliament Plains” in Icelandic.
Geologically, Thingvellir is situated in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart. This unique geological setting has created dramatic landscapes, including deep fissures, rocky cliffs, and the largest natural lake in Iceland, Lake Thingvallavatn.
Visitors to Thingvellir National Park can explore its historical and geological wonders, hike through scenic trails, and even snorkel or dive in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra Fissure, a popular diving spot known for its incredible underwater visibility, making this UNESCO heritage site a stop to remember!
