About Þingvellir Öxarárfoss
Öxarárfoss is a beautiful waterfall within Þingvellir National Park, the historic site of Iceland's Alþingi parliament. The 13-meter waterfall drops into the dramatic Almannagjá rift valley, created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Archaeological evidence suggests the waterfall may have been artificially created by Vikings to provide water for the parliament gatherings.
