Highlights
-
Thingvellir National Park - The Thingvellir National Park was established in 1930, the first national park in Iceland. Then in 2004, it became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iceland for its cultural heritage from the Viking era and the significance of its history and nature.
Þingvellir (e. Parliament Grounds) is a fracture zone situated on the tectonic plates of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the North-American and the Eurasian continents, which runs through Iceland from its NE corner to the SW corner, forming a great depression of about 40 km in length and 10 km in width. These boundaries are only visible above ground in very few locations in Iceland.
Alþingi (e. General Assembly) is the Icelandic parliament, established in AD 930 by the Vikings, and is the oldest parliament in the world. Every summer, Icelanders assembled there till 1798 to set laws, settle disputes, trade goods, and carry out punishments and executions.
