Between Tectonic Plates

If you visit Iceland, you’ll be able to visit the only place on earth where you can swim between two tectonic plates. There are even some passageways that are narrow enough that you can touch both of them simultaneously, meaning you’re touching two continents at the same time too. These cracks between continents has formed because the plates are slowly pulling away from each other.
