Deutsch: Þingvellir ist einer der wichtigsten Orte für die Geschichte Islands. Hier wurde im Jahre 930 das Alþingi (Parlament) gegründet. Es versammelte sich jeden Sommer bis zum Ende des alten Reiches im 13. Jahrhundert. Bis 1798 fungierte es als Verfassungsgericht. Viele wichtige historische Ereignisse fanden hier statt, z.B. die Gründung der modernen Republik Island im Jahre 1944. Þingvellir ist seit 1930 ein Nationalpark und seit 2004 ein Unesco Weltkulturerbe.
English: Þingvellir is one of Iceland's most important historical sites, fundamental to the history of Iceland and the Icelandic nation. The Alþingi (parliament) was founded here around 930 AD, and assembled each summer until the end of the Old Commonwealth in the 13th century. After the time it functioned as a court af law until 1798. Many crucial events in Iceland's history took place here, such as the adoption of Christianity around 1000 AD, and the foundation of the modern Icelandic Republic in 1944. Þingvellir thus has a special place in the Icelandic consciousness. Since 1930 Þingvellir has been a National Park, and in 2004 ist was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The natural environment of Þingvellir is unique in the world. The geology of the region, together with the ecosystem of Þingvellir Lake, Iceland's largest natural lake, constitute a valuable whole. The ecosystem of the lake is rich and the catchment area if the lake which is about 1300.km2, is a huge resource for future generation. Þingvellir lies on the junction of two tectonic plates, on the Mid Atlantic Ridge. The junction of the plates is more clearly visible here than anywhere else in the world: the two plates are constantly diverging, causing fissures and gullies throughout the zone.
Español: Thingvellir o Þingvellir (del islandés Þing, asamblea, y vellir, explanada) es un valle situado en el suroeste de Islandia en el Parque Nacional de Þingvellir, cercano a la península de Reykjanes y a la zona volcánica de Hengill. El valle es uno de los lugares históricos más importantes de Islandia. En el año 930, el Alþingi, una de las instituciones parlamentarias más antiguas del mundo fue fundada aquí. Es también una región interessante a causa de sa géología: La deriva continental puede ser observada claramente en este lugar, visible en las fallas que atraviesan la región. La más grande de todas ellas, Almannagjá, forma un cañón de considerables proporciones.
Íslenska: Þingvellir við öxará eru merkasti sögustaður Íslands og hvergi kemur saga lands og þjóðar fram með sterkari hætti. Hér var Alþingi stofnað um 930 og kom það hér saman árlega allt til ásins 1798. Margir merkustu atburðir Íslandssögunnar urðu hér, svo sem kristnitakan árið 1000 og stofnun lýðveldisins Íslands árið 1944. Því skipa Þingvellir sérstakan sess í hugum Íslendinga. Árið 1930 voru Þingvellir friðlýstir og þjóðgarður stofnaður er árið 2004 var þessi helgistaður allar Íslendinga samþykktur á heimsminjaskrá Menningarstofnunar Sameinuðu þjóðanna, UNESCO.
Náttúra Þingavallasvæðisins er einstök í heiminum. Jarðfræði svæðisins og vistkerfi Þingvallavatns, stærsta náttúrulega stöðuvatns Íslands, mynda dýrmæta heild. Lífríki vatnsins er auðugt en vatnasvið Þingvallavatns sem er um 1300 km2 hefur að geyma gríðarlega auðlind fyrir komandi kynslóðir. Þingvellir eru hluti flekaskila Atlandtshafshryggjarins sem sjá í fjölmörgum sprungum og gjám svæðisins og gliðnun þess sem sífell á sér stað.
