Dive between two continents.Watch this incredible video of the deep sea diver diving between Europe and North America


     Silfra rift is divergent part between North America and Europe.It is a place in Iceland.It is due to the consequence of the tectonic drift of the Europe and North america plate.Every year, the plates drift about 2 cm farther apart, which builds up tension between the plates and the earth mass above. This tension is released through a major earthquake approximately every ten years. 





      In these earthquakes, cracks and fissures are formed. Silfra is one of the largest cracks and started with a deep cave where most of the underwater wells feed it.Watch the video of the diver exploring the silfra rift,


      Silfra, by virtue of its location , contains clear, cold water that attracts scuba divers drawn to its high visibility and geological importance; divers are literally swimming between continents. The rift claims a shallow depth nearest to the bank, but deepens and widens further out.
