This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates visibly pull apart, creating dramatic rifts and the crystal-clear Silfra fissure for snorkeling. It's also where Iceland's original parliament, the Alþing, met in 930 AD — history literally carved into the landscape.
