Experience a unique geological wonder where tectonic plates drift apart, offering stunning fissures and a bridge that showcases the Earth's dynamic forces.

Iceland is the only place in the world where you can see the mid-Atlantic Ridge above ground and the Eurasian and North American Tectonic plates. The ridge rises above ground in Reykjanes, and the Bridge Between the Continents allows you to stand on a bridge between the continents.

The tectonic plates continuously drift apart, creating fissures that form due to stresses caused by the tension that builds up as the plates move from each other. The Bridge in Sandvík is over a significant crack which provides clear evidence of the presence of the plates drifting apart.
