The magnificent beauty of the mid-Atlantic mountains

Constructed from volcanic eruption over 24 million years ago, Reykjanes (Iceland) is the only part of the mid-Atlantic ridge above sea level.

The mid-Atlantic ridge (Mid-Atlantic Ridge), the middle part of the Atlantic Ocean, is the longest mountain range in the world.Reykjanes in Iceland is the largest part of this mountain that lies above sea level.

The map simulating the entire Atlantic mountain range extends from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere about 65,000 km, located between the continents of the Americas and Africa.The shape of the mountain has a broken form like a seam of a baseball.

Reykjanes in Iceland is a mountain section above the sea level of mid-Atlantic ridge, constructed from volcanic eruptions more than 24 million years ago on the ocean floor.

Reykjanes Mountain extends itself naturally, averaging 2.5cm per year.This ridge not only changed Iceland's geography, but also had implications for the volcanic activity of the island.

The most beautiful place of mid-Atlantic ridge is located in Thingvellir National Park, southwest of Iceland.

The mid-Atlantic ridge is considered the longest and largest mountain range in the world.Due to the geographical location, more than 90% of the mountain range lies below sea level.

Reykjanes is a rare place in the world where visitors can travel and see the beauty of nature forming the mid-Atlantic mountains.This is also a special place to attract international geologists and scientists to Iceland.

The bridge is built between Europe and America but still belongs to Thingvellir National Park.
