The first being that you can “Walk Between Two Continents,” as this is the exact spot that the North American & Eurasian tectonic plates are separating from one another, creating a rift valley. Iceland is the only place in the world where this rift is above sea-level, and in Þingvellir you can clearly see the edges of both plates. If geology doesn’t interest you, maybe you’re a Game of Thrones fan? You might recognize part of the park as the place they filmed all of the scenes at the 'Bloody Gate.' I landed in Iceland overnight and was supposed to take my first day off to get settled and plan my loop on the Ring Road. I couldn’t resist a chance to drive the Golden Circle so I went straight from the airport to Þingvellir and wandered in a jet-lagged haze. These young sheep were the first of about a million I would see, but they’re the ones who made it into the printed story. In order to get that image I had to park the car about half a mile away and walk blearily along the side of the road until they finally stopped wandering and munching to look at me with a face that begs the question: “Why is this crazy exhausted man stalking us?” // #thingvellir #thingvellirnationalpark #iceland #icelandtravel #goldencircle #icelandic #landscape #tectonicplates」7月28日 1時47分
