Þingvellir holds a special place in the hearts of Icelanders. The Icelandic parliament, Alþingi, was established here around 930 AD; on 17 June 1944, Icelanders celebrated their independence from Denmark here, and in the year 2000, it was the perfect place to mark 1000 years of Christianity in Iceland. Þingvellir is a place of exceptional natural beauty and interesting geological attractions. The entire area lies over the path of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with the Eurasian tectonic plate on one side and the North American plate on the other. Lake Þingvallavatn is the biggest natural Lake in Iceland and a great place to go trout fishing.
