I got the idea to feature an interesting place each week. So here we go- first up, the Silfra Fissure in Iceland!

Location of the Silfra Fissure. Thanks to Google Maps for the picture! |
Located in Thingvellir National Park, the Silfra Fissure is truly a unique place. The Silfra Fissure is a part of the divergent tectonic boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates. So what's so special about this tectonic boundary? It's inundated with crystal clear (but very cold) water, making it possible to go snorkeling or even scuba diving! You can actually dive down into the fissure, and float between two tectonic plates!
This place is definitely on my bucket list.
