great place to visit. conviently located on the golden circle. More

A crack in the path down to the site of the original Athling restricts the visit to peering over the edge of the continental divide into the valley below which is quite disappointing. Hopefully the crack will be bridged before the summer. More

This place is crazy. We drove here from Geysir, and just ouside of that, it was white out snow as far as the eye can see, then you drive into the park full of birch trees. All the exposed fault lines are really cool to hike around on. Definitely check out Oxafoss More

I visited Þingvellir National Park on consecutive days -- first as part of a Golden Circle bus tour on a Sunday, and back again with just my family early Monday morning. The site is fantastic, but if you have the chance, you should try to visit on your own without the crowds. Þingvellir is like the end of the earth... More

Situated less than an hours drive from Reykjavik, and a natural rift valley, this is the site of the world's oldest Parliament, which was inaugerated in the year 974 AD. The first time I viisted this site in 1984, was with a... More
