Thingvellir National Park - All Attending

The name Þingvellir literally means “Assembly Plains,” and the place symbolizes the history of Iceland. The Alþingi, or Iceland’s parliament, was founded there as early as 930, making it the oldest operating parliament globally. The parliament continued to convene at the fields of river Öxará for 868 years or until 1798. Therefore, many significant events of Iceland’s history have taken place there, and Icelanders consider it the nation’s birthplace. This park has a long historic location, as it hosted the parliament of the early Iceland settlers, and periodically the law was read and applied in this location, the most amazing geological feature is the fact that the park sits atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that separates the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, so you walk between two continents.
