Þingvellir National Park, Iceland: The World's Oldest Parliamentary Site
Þingvellir, Iceland's first national park (established in 1930), is located in southwestern Iceland, about 40 kilometers from the capital city of Reykjavík. Located at the junction of two tectonic plates, the North American and Eurasian, this area has a unique geological rift valley landscape that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A marvel of history and geography
In 930 AD, Icelanders established one of the world's first parliaments, Alþingi, here, marking the birth of Icelandic democracy. Geographically, Thingvedri is the boundary between the Asian-European and American tectonic plates, which separate at a rate of about 2 centimeters per year, creating natural wonders such as the spectacular Almana escarpment and Lake Thingvadra.
Recommended Must-see Attractions and Activities
Visitors can view the Laogha River Falls along the Rift Valley Trail, experience snorkeling between North America and Eurasia at the Silfra Rift, or chase the aurora borealis in winter. The park has a visitor center that offers detailed explanations of the geological evolution and Viking history, and is one of the central attractions of Iceland's Golden Circle Route.
