This video from the Time for Geography series is filmed in Iceland around Thingvellir.
This is a common location for school groups to visit as part of the usual routes taken in SW Iceland. I shall be there myself in a couple of weeks' time.
It was the site of the Icelandic Parliament, the Althing for hundreds of years.
The site is allegedly where two plates are moving apart with a rift valley forming along the route of the plate margin. In reality it's likely that most of this location is on the American plate, as the main Mid-Atlantic Ridge is further to the east.
The video features Richard Waller from Keele University and Harriet Ridley.
