Thingvellir National Park

Thingvellir was the site of the first parliament in the 900's. This is also a spot where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates "meet".

This is where attendees of the 2 week long general assemblies camped. It is called Snorri's Budir.

This is one of the largest rift walls caused by moving of the Eurasian and American tectonic plates.

Women who broke the law were drowned in this pool of water.

Another Rift caused by the plates
