A British diver recently released tumultuous photographs showing the growing gap between the two continents.
A British diver recently released tumultuous photographs showing the growing gap between the two continents.
Diving deep 25 meters below the water of the beautiful Iceland region, Alex Mustard - 36 - admires the view of a majestic narrow ridge beneath the sea. However, the narrow ravine that this British diver went through, is actually a crack created by two tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia.
Mustard has recorded these truly and extremely valuable photos.
This area is full of fault lines, deep trenches. Many volcanoes and hot springs are formed by tectonic plates displacing about 2.54 cm per year.
During the dive with a friend, Mustard also took snapshots of the images of the ravines Silfra, Nes and Nikulasargja located at a depth of 60m.

'I have been to many places and confirm that the sea in Iceland is the most in the world, ' Mustard said.
Netizens were very excited with the photos published. Some people are worried about whether he will move far from Europe or whether this shift is a potential risk for a tsunami.
However, tsunamis only occur when tectonic plates move closer and collide with each other rather than translating away from each other as in this case so we can be completely assured.
