IngvallavatnÞingvallavatn is a lake in the south-west of Iceland. With a surface of 84 km it is the biggest (natural) lake of the island. Its greatest depth is 114 m. At the northern shore of the lake, the parliament of Iceland Alþing was founded in 930. The lake is part of the ingvellir National Park. The volcanic origin of the islands in the lake is clearly visible. The fissures around it - the famous Almannagj is the biggest of them - indicate that here the tectonic plates of Europe and The Americas are in a conflict. See also: External links Official website
