Our journey resumes in chilly and chilling Iceland, all photos today from cassidyduhon Keep sending your photos using #AroundTheWorldIn8Days, today is your last chance to submit your travel photos. There's perhaps no better place to begin in Iceland than Þingvellir National Park. It is historically, culturally and geologically significant to the island nation. Home to the country's largest natural lake (Þingvallavatn), a fissure between the earth's tectonic plates (Silfra) and the birthplace of the Icelandic Parliament and thereby the nation of Iceland (founded in 930). It's landscape is absolutely awe-inspiring and many tourists will spend an entire day exploring it. #Lake #Iceland #Volcanoes #Mountains #History
