Thingvellir National Park

Iceland, Iceland

About

A rift valley where two tectonic plates pull apart, and Iceland's first parliament met.

Walking through the Almannagjá gorge puts you between the North American and Eurasian plates. The park has easy marked paths, a waterfall at Öxarárfoss and the clear Silfra fissure where divers snorkel between continents.
