Þingvellir

Þingvellir is the third national park in Iceland that I've visited on this trip. As always, I have to leave something undone for the return trip. The fourth and newest national park is Snæfellsnes in the west.

Þingvellir (the Plain of the Alþing, or Parliament) was the first national park, created more for its geological and historical significance, rather than sheer natural beauty. That said, it's still probably a pleasant place to visit in good weather. The children are getting bored, and with the rain pouring down, we won't be staying long.
