In the spring of 2010, we took a trip to Iceland from Stavanger for a long weekend.  We rented a car and did quite a bit of sightseeing in this beautiful and interesting country.  One of the trips was to this National Park which is a WHS.  The reason for this site is that it is of historical importance.  However, I did not really see much interesting in that regard.

However, what was interesting to us was that park is in the middle of the rift zone and apparently this is on top of the plate boundaries with the American plate to the West and the European plate to the right.  As half European / half American it is quite interesting to see the two sides and to walk the bridge from America to Europe.  There are also some cool rock formations, but other than that not too great of a sight or even much of a highlight in Iceland.
