iceland

Iceland is so geologically active that it’s one of the few places on Earth where you can see two tectonic plates pulling apart above ground — the North American and Eurasian plates meet at Þingvellir National Park, creating dramatic rift valleys and cracks you can actually walk between.

Iceland runs almost entirely on renewable energy — about 85% of its total energy supply comes from geothermal and hydropower, making it one of the greenest countries in the world. You can even shower in volcanically heated water straight from the ground!

Here’s a third cool thing about Iceland:

🧊 You can swim between continents!
At the Silfra fissure in Þingvellir National Park, you can snorkel or dive directly between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in some of the clearest water on Earth — visibility reaches over 100 meters!
