The famous tectonic fault of Iceland, a few kilometers long, constituting one of the major attractions of the place

Only in Iceland can you be on two continents at the same time! The most important and famous tectonic fault of this site reminds us that Iceland is located at the junction of the Eurasian and North American plates. It is 7.7 km long and is one of the major attractions of the place. We recommend climbing to the top of the Almannagjá Fault, from where you can enjoy a panorama of amazing contrasts. From here you can walk to the Öxará River and the Öxarárfoss waterfall.

Drôle de phénomène
Point de rencontre de deux plaques tectoniques, ce lieu mérite un passage pour admirer d'une part l'impressionnante faille longue de plus de 7km mais également profiter du circuit de promenade très bien aménagé autour du lacs et des petits plan d'eau.

Un intérêt à la fois géologique et historique
Dans le parc Naturel de Thingvellir où se rencontrent les plaques tectoniques nord-américaine et eurasienne, on peut observer cette énorme faille de 7,7 km de long et de 64 m au plus large. On a l'impression de se promener dans un canyon! Mais ce n'est pas tout! Ce site accueillait des assemblées en l'an 930, et est considéré comme le premier Parlement de l'Histoire. Sa visite est donc très intéressante d'un double point de vue

Site intéressant géologiquement parlant!
Point de vue superbe sur le "no man's land" entre les deux plaques tectonique.
Si vous avez l'occasion de faire du snorkellig dans la faille de Silfra, c'est top, l'eau est magnifique (mais froide!)

A faire, cela est saissisant de se dire que l'on se trouve à la jonction des plaques tectoniques !
