    Sunset over Thingvellir, Iceland 1/1/2010

    By HOLadd1  |  Posted March 15, 2010  |  Thingvellir, Iceland
     

    Local time:  approx 2:30 PM.  Sunset at Thingvellir, Iceland on New Years Day, 2010.  This location is Iceland's version of, say, Independence Hall in the US -- the birthplace of the Icelandic nation.

     

    It also straddles the two continental plates that separate Europe from North America...the plates are moving apart as approximately 2 - 3 cm a year.  So, yes, Iceland is growing.

     

    PS:  Thingvellir is pronounced "think-with-it" or at least close to that...
