Bridge Between Continents on Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland

Do you think it takes hours if not days to go from Europe to North America? How about 60 seconds! By walking the 60 foot span of the Bridge Between Continents (also called Leif the Lucky Bridge), you are crossing the tectonic plates along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This fissure at the Álfagjá Rift Valley near Sandvík grows wider by almost an inch a year as the Eurasian and North American Plates constantly drift apart.
