Þingvellir Iceland ポストカード

Þingvellir National Park is a site of immense historical and geological significance. It is the location of the Alþingi, the world’s oldest surviving parliament, founded in 930 AD, and the place where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are visibly pulling apart. The park is characterized by deep fissures, rocky cliffs, and the crystal-clear waters of the Silfra fissure. Its landscape is a tapestry of rugged volcanic rock and lush moss, representing the heart of Icelandic national identity and the physical birth of the island.
