Not just the cradle of Icelandic parliament, but also a telling example of the geology of the country, Þingvellir is the historical symbol of the soul of Iceland, as well as a place of a distinct natural beauty.
I descended through a canyon-like crack, one of the main fissures of the area. Here, the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are drifting apart at a rate of 1mm a year. Further down, I saw Öxarárfoss, where a river comes down one of the cracks in a pretty waterfall, finding its way to Þingvallavatn through this historic area. The landscape is unique: deep rifts over which you can walk from North America to Europe, some of them filled with crystal-clear water, the mosses covering the lava landscape, the steep walls of the fissures, the friendly waters of the Öxará finding its way through the rocky landscape.
