4 Close up of the water as it disappears
5 The water does a 90degree turn to end up in the river below
6 Moving on to Thingvellir, the site of the original outdoor Icelandic parliament a thousand years ago. The rock outcrops provided good acoustics for the reading out of the laws.This is a place where two tectonic plates are pulling the Earth's surface aprt.
7 Close up of rock formation at Thingvellir
8 View across the area, the lines of rocks are where the plates are separating and creating new land in between
9 River and lake at Thingvellir

Great geological features and it looks lovely and cool! I particularly like the view with the church.
