The continental plates of Europe and America meet at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge – a long chasm in the Atlantic Ocean that runs for thousands of miles. The rift is mainly deep underwater, but it does run through Iceland, making this the only country on Earth where you can witness the meeting of the American and Eurasian plates above sea level. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is in the west of Iceland and runs through Þingvellir National Park and out on the Reykjanes Peninsula where you’ll find the Bridge Between Two Continents.
