₱ingvellir National Park where the oldest Parliament in existence was founded in 930AD. We saw Vikings, White Wagtails, Wheatears, Eurasian Redwings, Tufted Ducks among others. The spot where the Icelandic Parliament met for the first 1000 years happens to be on a spot straddling the divide between the Eurasian and the North American Plates. We really enjoyed our time here.
Next, we went to Geysir, from which geysirs were named. On the way we saw Redshanks, Black-tailed Godwits, Whooper Swans, Great Northern Divers, Whimbrels, etc. Geysir was quite fun and had lots of bubbling and shooting geysirs (including the orginal "Geysir".
We also visited the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, also astride a rift valley.
LOTS of life birds for us today :-) In the next couple of days I'll post videos of 4 life birds we saw today.
