The Thingvellir National Park was established in 1930, the first national park in Iceland. Then, in 2004, it became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iceland for its cultural heritage from the Viking era and the significance of its history and nature.

Þingvellir (e., Parliament Grounds) is a fracture zone situated on the tectonic plates of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the North American and the Eurasian continents, which runs through Iceland from its NE corner to the SW corner, forming a significant depression of about 40 km in length and 10 km in width. These boundaries are only visible above ground in very few locations in Iceland. Almannagjá (e., Public’s Rift) forms the eastern edges of the North American plate, while Hrafnagjá (e., Raven’s Rift) forms the western bounds of the Eurasian plate. The area between these two rifts slowly subsides, pulling apart by about 3-4 millimeters yearly.

Alþingi (e., General Assembly) is the Icelandic parliament, established in AD 930 by the Vikings, and is the oldest parliament in the world. Every summer, Icelanders assembled there till 1798 to set laws, settle disputes, trade goods, and carry out punishments and executions. At Althingi, the Icelandic nation agreed to adopt Christianity in AD 1000, superseding the heathen religion Asatru. On 17 June 1944, the establishment of the Republic of Iceland was declared in force after centuries of being under the reigns of the Kingdoms of Norway and Denmark.
