Thringvellir - The Althing!

The Althing was the world's very first recorded parliamentary meeting between the lords of Iceland. It was first held in 930, and believe it or not, is still the official government. It meets in Reykjavik now, but Thringvellir was the site of the very first Althing. (By the way, I heard the word pronounced all-think, which is how I remember what it is. In a parliament, everyone is supposed to think, so it's all-think. Terrible, I know, but it works.)
