Thingvellir National Park and Rift Valley are both historically and Geologically fascinating, plus being on UNESCO’s world heritage list. The continental crust here is pretty thin and the earth surface has been shaped by the two major plates, the North American and the Eurasian tectonic plates, moving apart. For maybe a million years The Rift Valley has been forming and the plate boundaries are clearly visible. There is also a theory of the valley being the edge of a minor plate lined with lava fields, volcanic craters and some major volcanoes.

Thingvellir is also the place where all the major decisions in the history of Iceland have been taken by the High Counsel at the law rock, from becoming a christian country in 1000 AD, up to the declaration of independence from Denmark in 1944 AD. In recent years Thingvellir has also found its place in popular culture by providing background for a few scenes and possible inspiration for The Wall in the Game of Thrones tv series. Also it is a popular spot for northern lights tours from Reykjavik during winter. Next to the parking lot at Hakið there is an information center and a small souvenir shop.
