Þingvellir National Park in Iceland

To FREEDOMtravel

Þingvellir National Park in Iceland is a fascinating place, whether you are interested in nature, geology, history or film. The views are breathtaking and the landscape very special, as you are right at the point where the major continental plates meet.
