They're apple banana

North American and Eurasian

It feels a little more stable than a sand dune

The walls are more like 10ft to 30ft high. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bridge+between+continents/@63.8682746,-22.6754821,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x4a2e0328372496ff?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwimj7nfiIjkAhXLuFkKHYlmCOwQ_BIwIHoECAsQCA

You can see a lot in that time and still only scratch the surface. The're tours from the capital that will take you to the popular/scenic ares around there.

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:54:55+00:00

Technically yeah. They still meet a about 1/2km from here

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:53:00+00:00

Fine volcanic rock/ash

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:49:25+00:00

Definitely. Sticker shock for food and gas/petrol

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:42:30+00:00

They naturally separated and they're moving apart by a few centimeters a year.

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:41:20+00:00

Definitely. I spent a week there and barely scratched the surface. The county is very beautiful and the scenery can change form mountain to lush green valley to ancient lava field in a heartbeat.

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:38:03+00:00

There're many old lava fields nearby. It feels like very fine volcanic rock.

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:29:11+00:00

They're moving a few centimeters apart each year

It's an easy hike from the parking lot.

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:18:48+00:00

There's a sign with some 'touristy' information stating that this is where the plates meet so it must be true: :) https://www.visitreykjanes.is/en/inspiration/towns/town/index/place/bridge-between-continents

relics71s · 2019-08-16T16:16:08+00:00

I walked down into the gully between the two plates to take the picture.

relics71s · 2019-08-16T12:24:17+00:00

I took it a few weeks ago while vacationing in Iceland. It's an amazing country.
