episode description
Thingvellir is the most important cultural heritage site in Iceland, a national treasure and at the same time a major cultural resource at the global level. Its dramatic history from the establishment around the year 930 of the Althing, Iceland’s parliament, affords a unique insight into how a pioneer community during the Viking Age first began to organize its society and took its first steps towards becoming a modern nation. Thingvellir also combines in just one place an assortment of natural phenomena which only a handful of places on earth can boast. To Icelanders, Thingvellir is a symbol of national unity where the main strands of its history have been woven from its earliest settlement in the ninth century to the present day.
