Early Parliament Site

Our 5th stop on the Golden Circle tour was to the site if the early parliament of Iceland. It is spelled in Icelandic, so I am unable to spell it for you. It was moved in the late 1700's as it sits right on a fault line and there was an earthquake that threatened the site. What was left were fissures in the ground filled with deep glacial water that takes 50 years to travel from the glacier to that point. Some of the guys went swimming in the 36 degree water.
