National Parks in Iceland

four National Parks in Iceland:

Thingvellir, “Symbol of the Icelandic Consciousness”, is in a rift valley between the American and European geological plates and Lake Thingvellir contains species of fish found nowhere else.

Snaefellsjökull National Park is at the foot of a volcano and glacier, and is steeped in mystery and romance; it is the only Park that reaches from the seashore to the mountaintops.

Jökulsárgljúfur National Park has been formed by the torrents gushing down from the Vatnajökull glacier and it contains Dettifoss, the largest waterfall in Europe.

Skaftafell National Park is in an area also affected by catastrophic floods (Jökulhlaup) from the Vatnajökull glacier, but here visitors find a green oasis among barren sands spewed out from beneath the ice.
