   Located on the northern shores of Þingvallavatn (Iceland's largest lake), Þingvellir (anglicized as 'thingvellir') is the national pride of Iceland and our first National Park.It is, for one, a key location in Icelandic history as the oldest existing parliament in the world first assembled there in 930 AD.For this reason, Þingvellir has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is, therefore, a protected national park due to its unique geology and natural features.From the viewing area, the Almannagjá canyon between two tectonic plates can be seen, a visual representation of continental drift.

   As the first stop along the tour, you will have an opportunity to walk through the park and use the restroom if needed.
