Thingvellir

It's our last day in Iceland, and we are travelling the "Golden Circle" of major sights about an hour east of Reykjavik.

First stop is Thingvellir -- a national park for both historic and natural reasons. The beautiful valley sits upon the Mid-Atlantic rift and was the site of the original Icelandic Parliament -- dating from the 10th century!

Here we walked down the rift.
