Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Thanks to a lady in my group, who suggested on the very last day of the tour to have an optional side-trip to see Reykjanes Ridge (Mid-Atlantic Ridge), as we had missed the one at Thingvellir. Our guide requested the tour company to book a bus and a driver to take us there. We did not stay at this small spot that long, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to walk in between two continents.

For information on this interesting geological site, please find detailed description from :
