Challenge the whole Internet, who can resist Iceland?

Þingvellir National Park is a famous nature reserve and historical site in Iceland. Located in the southern part of Iceland, about 45 km east of Reykjavik. It is one of the three national parks in Iceland, covering an area of about 240 square kilometers. The park is located at the junction of the North American and Eurasian plates, forming a spectacular fault landscape. The rift is the boundary between the two plates, which are still separating at a rate of 2 cm per year. 🤣 Natural scenery: The park is home to Iceland's largest natural lake, Þingvallavatn, with clear water and high visibility. The glacial water in the rift forms the diving paradise Silfra, one of the top three diving and snorkeling destinations in the world for cold water diving. Frequent volcanic activity, vast lava fields, and snow-covered landscapes are solemn and magnificent. History and culture: Þingvellir means "parliamentary plain" in Icelandic, derived from the first parliament in Iceland established here in 930 AD. The parliamentary site witnessed the development of Icelandic society and is the birthplace of Icelandic democracy. The park was established in 1930 to protect the parliamentary site and later expanded to protect the surrounding natural scenery. 👍 Highly recommended: Travel experience: Visitors can hike between the canyons and feel the wonders of nature. The sulfur springs and hot springs in the park offer visitors a unique geothermal experience. In winter, you can also see the aurora and experience the rare natural beauty.
