Muse Food – Deep Crevasses In Iceland
One of the (many) things I absolutely love about Iceland is there are awesome rock formations everywhere. And there are SO MANY deep crevasses.
We’re talking release-the-old-gods types of cracks in the rock-covered ground.
What is breaking free? WHO is breaking free? Do they mean us harm or will they be friendly?
The story possibilities are endless.

Straddling Two Tectonic Plates In Thingvellir National Park, Iceland
While we were visiting Iceland, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I participated in a Golden Circle Tour. One of the stops was Thingvellir National Park.
Thingvellir National Park has some gorgeous scenery, some amazing history, and awesome hikes.
But the highlight for me were the rock formations. And the fact that it is where the two tectonic plates – the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates – meet…sort of.
I say sort of because there’s a gap between the two tectonic plates. The locals call that gap no man’s land. That land isn’t technically on either plate.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby also loved the Silfra fissure. We didn’t have enough time to snorkel in it but the visibility from the bridge was amazing.
And there was a nice walk to a large lake (not shown).
It was a great stop and I could have happily spent days exploring the park.
