We travelled to Þingvellir, which is in Bláskógabyggð, southwestern Iceland, near the peninsula of Reykjanes and the Hengill volcanic area.
Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological importance and is the site of a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
When the Icelandic Parliament (the Althing) formed, in AD930, where better to assemble the entire population of 60,000, than at this site?
