Þingvellir National Park (Þ = Th) - We are finally on day 3 as I chronologically take you through our recent tour de Iceland. About Þingvellir (via Wikipedia) - One of three national parks in Iceland. In addition to being the area of first settlement in Iceland (AD 847), The Geology is fairly epic as the continental drift between the North American and Eurasian Plates can be clearly seen in the cracks or faults which traverse the region, the largest one, Almannagjá, being a veritable canyon. This also causes the often measurable earthquakes in the area."
Icelandic Lupines - On our journey back to Selfoss, the lupine fields seems to go on forever - fields of purple coat the landscape This is the last photo from our Vik journey, next up, Thingvellir National Park and some sun!
I could not resist posting one more photo of the Icelandic Lupines - aka The Fields of Purple.
