Pulling apart
System of cracks at Thingvellir in Iceland. Iceland lies on the mid-Atlantic ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates separate. In this area is a system of cracks that together form a separation zone, as the plates gradually pull apart. This pool fills one of the larger cracks.
