What to expect

1
Bridge Between Continents

A symbolic bridge between Europe and North America on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The lava-scarred Reykjanes peninsula lies on one of the world's major plate boundaries, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. According to the continental drift theory, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces under the gaping rifts. As the plates diverge, linear fissures, form due to stresses created by the tension that builds up as the plates move away from each other. The Bridge between two continents is a small footbridge over a major fissure, which provides clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin.
