How’d you like to dive between continental plates? Here at this fissure in popular Thingvellir National Park, you can put one hand on Eurasia and one hand on North America. The fissure itself is due to the movement of the tectonic plates and is full of glacial meltwaters filtered through the lava rock. The visibility is reportedly 100 meters and the fissure has luminous alga and limestone walls. Snorkeling tours start at $163.00. Diving tours cost $284.00.
