North America collides with Eurasia as tectonic plate meet and rub together in Pingvellir National Park, Iceland. Not just a geological wonder, this national park has other claims for fame. It is the site of the world's first national parliament, the Icelandic Althing, in the year 930. If that wasn't enough, this very path has featured prominently in TV's epic fantasy series the Game of Thrones, as the path to the Eyrie and AryaÕs and Sandor CleganeÕs journey. Uniquely, this is a place of epic beauty, geological importance, social history and media interest.
