Description:
Thingvellir, meaning "Parliament Grounds," is a uniquely remarkable place. Here, the American and European tectonic plates meet, placing the area and Lake Thingvallavatn between two continents. Detailed video and extensive aerial and close-up shots illustrate this geological separation, where the ground splits, Thingvellir sinks, and the lake expands along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is a meeting point of Eastern and Western flora and fauna. The lake itself is only about 10,000 years old, yet it supports four distinct varieties of Arctic Char – a world wonder. The lake's exceptional clarity provides incredibly realistic underwater views of these fish in their natural habitat.
