I arrived at Þingvellir National Park after 6pm. I set up my tent at the campsite (since wild camping is illegal in the national parks of Iceland), cooked, relaxed, then went for a walk on the main touristy paths of Thingvellir at around 10pm. It was still light out, yet there was nobody around. Amazing. I stood there, in the fault between North America and Eurasia, and admired the striking walls around me. Those walls move away from each other by about 2cm each year; this is an active rift. These walls are part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Iceland is one of few places where you can see the ridge above the surface of the ocean. And what an incredible sight it is, especially when you have it all to yourself.

From Glymur falls, I followed a 20km trail called Leggjabrjótur into Þingvellir National Park. This trail was a lot less muddy than the previous one, and just spectacular all around. I camped by Sandvatn Lake. It was below freezing at night, but my sleeping bag kept me warm and cozy 😊

Öxarárfoss – The Heart of Thingvellir National Park, Iceland
Nestled within the rugged cliffs of Thingvellir National Park, Öxarárfoss is one of Iceland’s most captivating waterfalls. This stunning cascade pours gracefully over the edge of the Almannagjá fault, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart.

Brúarfoss Waterfall, Iceland
This image captures the mesmerizing turquoise flow of Brúarfoss as glacier-fed water from the Langjökull glacier rushes through a narrow volcanic gorge. The silky smooth motion of the water contrasts beautifully with the dark, rugged basalt rock and moss-covered edges, creating a sense of serenity .#Rainbow #Iceland #Thingvellir #nationalPark #nature #travelPHotogrpahy #Landscape #landscapes #art #fineart

Double Rainbow over Thingvellir – The Golden Circle, Iceland
While exploring the legendary Golden Circle of Iceland, we arrived at Thingvellir National Park just as a passing storm gave way to sunlight. Suddenly, the sky exploded with color, revealing a perfect double rainbow stretching across the wide Icelandic plain.

Petite virée autour du lac de Þingvellir pour observer de loin le massif du Botnssúlur. Et cet été, je ferai une photo depuis un des sommets.

@maphew #Iceland beautiful country! It's been a while now, but the peninsula around Staðastaður was lovely, as were #Thingvellir and #Hofskirkja and #jokulsarlon. Go late summer when there's no more cruise ships.

#Iceland dump #2
One day we did the #GoldenCircle tour, taking in #Thingvellir National Park, #Gullfoss falls, some geysers and #Friðheimar tomato farm. Thingvellir is where the North American and European tectonic plates are moving further away. Gullfoss falls are amazing and from there we saw a strange cloud formation over a distant mountain, that even the guide hadn't seen before. After a visit to watch the #Stokkur geyser blow a few times (wow!), we headed for as much tomato soup and bread as you could handle at Friðheimar tomato farm. They even brought over #vegan butter and sour cream for me. Fantastic! They have their own bees there, too, imported from the #Netherlands.
