“Where the Earth Splits and History Lives”

#hellohalloween Thingvellir National Park in Iceland is a place where nature and history meet in a truly powerful way. Located about 45 minutes from Reykjavik, this UNESCO World Heritage Site sits on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which slowly drift apart, creating dramatic cracks and rift valleys. Visitors can actually walk between two continents—a rare experience in the world. Thingvellir is also the birthplace of Iceland’s democracy, where the world’s oldest parliament, the Althing, was founded in 930 AD. The park’s landscape is stunning, with clear streams, waterfalls like Öxarárfoss, and lava fields surrounded by mountains. In summer, it’s a peaceful place for hiking and sightseeing, while in winter it feels like a frozen wonderland. The crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure even allow for snorkeling between continents. Thingvellir is a symbol of Iceland’s spirit—beautiful, ancient, and full of natural wonder.
