Lake Thingvellir

On my travels in Iceland, I have visited the Thingvellir Lake numerous times. Always on the northern side though where all the main sights are to be seen like plate boundaries where the American and Eurasian plates drift apart 1cm a year. I have a couple of earlier posts about this.
This time however I took a drive on the southern side of the lake and saw a different viewpoint over the Thingvellir National Park.
The lake is the largest lake in Iceland and the temperature remains pretty much unchanged all year around because the lake is fed 90% from underground spring water.

I stopped on the southern shore where a small beach area was and snapped a couple of fast pictures of the view. I would have loved to sit around a bit longer and maybe take a walk but had to drive back to Reykjavik because a flight back was scheduled this evening.
