Öxarárfoss is a picturesque waterfall located in Þingvellir National Park in southwestern Iceland. The waterfall is formed by the Öxará River as it cascades over the Almannagjá, a rift valley formed by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This location is not only geologically significant but also historically important, as Þingvellir was the site of Iceland's first parliament, the Althing, established in 930 AD.
