Continents Drift Apart photography

As you might know, Iceland sits right on top of the location where continental halving happens, this is also the reason why it's so volcanically active. Most of southern and eastern Iceland is on the Eurasian plate and the majority of northern and western Iceland sits on the North American tectonic plate. Basically, Iceland gets cut in half but it happens very slowly.

On the third day of being in Iceland, after getting my camper we went to the first location named Bruin Milli Heimsalfa, located on Reykjanes peninsula- This is one of many locations in Iceland you can witness the continents drifting apart.

Overall this place is surrounded by landscapes that are seemingly endless lava fields.

Lava rock formations.

I have been in a couple of different locations now where the continents drift apart on Iceland and it always feels surreal in these locations where you can stand between two continents where that are constantly moving.

Thanks for your time you take to view my post.
