Þingvellir Ísland Trails Index

Þingvellir is one of the rare places in the world that is of geologic as well as historical interest. Iceland is formed on the mid-Atlantic ridge where the plates are moving apart and Þingvellir is literally a canyon formed by that movement. On one side is the North American plate and on the the other the European plate. Not only that, but the oldest parliament in the world, the Alþingi, met here for nearly a millenium before moving to Reykjavik in the 19th century.
