The Rift, a dramatic exhibition of geology

Icelanders call the space between the North American and European tectonic plates The Rift. The plates of the earth's crust shift here at a rate of about 1 centimeter a year. We walked in the Rift, able to touch the outermost edge of our North American continent. Thirty miles away in Iceland, we could touch Europe.

Within the space of the Rift on an open green, we learned, the Vikings held the first Parliament ever.

Here are some shots of the awesome landscape and one of Adam pushing back the North American plate.
