Thingvellir

17th August

Starting at Geysir we drove to Thingvellir, and then on to just North of Bifrost, just South of the Snaefellnes peninsula. Site of the Icelandic parliament, the Althing, since Viking times, its situated right on the tectonic plate boundary. Tonight's stop in a lovely valley - great views of volcanic cones, lava flows & beautiful sunlight.
