Description: Thingvellir (or Þingvellir) National Park is one of the closest dark sites to Reykjavik and it’s a great spot to catch the aurora. The national park lies at the boundary of 2 tectonic plates next to Iceland’s largest lake, þingvallavatn. It’s a popular destination, but there are a number of areas to view from. Waterfalls, scenic overlooks, distant mountains, and the lake all make for great photo opportunities.
