Today we’re back in Iceland for a quick stop.  This waterfall was along a path just outside of Thingviller.  We stopped at the main Thingviller site and walked around a bit.  After visiting the tourist spot, we walked down and around the main rocks. A much smaller waterfall appeared behind a little cliff.   We spent so much time here because it is one of the two spots in the entire world. Here, you can see the joining of two continental plates above ground.  It really is fascinating. Once you understand, you realize that you are standing on two continents.

Thingviller, in Icelandic, means Parliament Plains.  It is where, for two weeks each summer, the would hold Parliament, resolve any disputes and pass laws. Really a remarkable place.
