Thingvellir national park (all parliments national park)<br>
The gap between north american and european plates is wide here (kms), but there are many cracks. The main walls are very clear. In one crack can see a slot formed by a crack on one side of path and matching slot on opposite side<br>
The wall forms an amphitheatre that was used for the meetings of all the leaders of regional parliaments in 930, these meetings took 2 weeks  with all iceland represented. They ran even with a lava flow running on other side of hill in year 1000 (during debate on whether to convert from norse gods to christianity). This is the longest running parliament in world.<br>
Around can see lava flows, bottom floor of atlantic ocean.<br>
