Introduction
Þingvellir National Park is Iceland's 'cradle of the nation': here in 930 AD one of the world's first parliaments, the Alþingi, was founded, and here the visible rift between the Eurasian and North American plates runs through the land. The crystal-clear Silfra fissure invites diving, and the lakes and valleys carry both independence and geological significance — inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2004.
