Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge — where the North American and Eurasian plates pull apart — directly above a powerful mantle plume rising from deep within Earth.
As the plates diverge, new crust forms, rift valleys widen, and magma continuously reshapes the island. This rare overlap of rifting and plume activity makes Iceland one of the most active geological regions on the planet.
It is a place where continents tear open and volcanoes rebuild the land simultaneously.
