The Silfra fissure in the national park formed as the North American and Eurasian plates drift apart; its clear water is used for snorkelling and diving. The Great Geysir gave all geysers their name. Its neighbour Strokkur usually erupts every six to ten minutes, around 15 to 20 metres high.
Gullfoss drops in two steps into a gorge of the Hvítá river. The Laugarvatnshellir cave lies near Laugarvatn, and north of Þingvellir rises the shield volcano Skjaldbreiður, formed around 9,000 years ago.
