 A diver submerges into Silfra canyon, a deep fault filled with fresh water in between the Eurasian and American tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park, Iceland. In this photo the American plate is on the left and the Eurasian plate on the right. These spectacular underwater photographs show the vast gap between the two tectonic plates, as seen by a British scuba diver Alex Mustard, 36, who dived 24.4 meters into the crevice between North America and Eurasia to reveal the stunning landscape. Alex snapped away as he and his dive partners swam through the fresh water canyons Silfra, Nes and Nikulasargja, which are up to 61 meters deep. [Photo/CFP] |
