Diver touching 'Two Continents', between North America and Europe, Silfra, Iceland.
Silfra a fissure between North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Thingvellir National Park. Rift was formed in 1789 AD, by earthquakes accompanying divergent movement of two tectonic plates.
Diving and snorkeling site at Silfra is right where two continents meet and drift apart about 2cm per year. Silfra, only place in the world where you can dive or snorkel directly in crack between two tectonic plates.
@archaeohistories though it’d be absolutely terrifying, if one was a geoscientist, then being in that space during a catastrophic earthquake would be the best way to go
