Þingvellir
. Located on the northern shores of lake Þingvallavatn, Þingvellir is the national pride of Iceland and our first National Park. It is, for one, a key location in Icelandic history as the oldest existing parliament in the world first assembled there in 930 AD. Þingvellir has for this reason been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Besides being a location of historical significance, Þingvellir is also protected as a national park due to its unique geology and natural features. Almannagjá
is a canyon formed between two tectonic plates, a visual representation of a continental drift.
Geysir.
The home of the original geyser and Iceland´s most iconic natural site. There the ground shakes and super heated water erupts into the sky from the famous Strokkur
geyser every few minutes.
Gullfoss Waterfall
is a powerful and inspiring place. There the glacier water thunders down 32 meters in three steps and into a narrow canyon.
