ÞINGVALLAVATN
The lake of the plain of the Parliament, the biggest of Iceland, with a maximum depth of several meters
The Parliament Plain Lake is the largest lake in Iceland (84 km2), and a wonder to behold. Its maximum depth is 114 m. On its shores and in its waters, 150 types of plants and 50 species of invertebrates can be observed. Among the fish are Arctic char, trout and stickleback. Barrow's goldeneye, harlequin ducks and common loons are some of the water birds that can be seen on the lake. The mink, introduced to Iceland for its fur in 1931, also thrives around Thingvallavatn.
