Þingvellir National Park

Þingvellir National Park lies in a rift valley on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates, beside Þingvallavatn, Iceland's largest natural lake. The Alþing, Iceland's general assembly, met here in the open air from around 930 until 1798. The park was founded in 1930 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004.
