Does it bother anyone else this photo is taken southward?

You don't know how long my arms are, maybe I can touch both continents at different places.

The actual rift is a few Kilometres across. The lake sits within that.
davebeastly
So does that mean the gap is unclaimed? *starts packing suitcase with scuba gear and designing a flag in MSPaint.*

I took this snorkel tour a couple of years ago, via Dive.IS (look them up on TripAdvisor). The water is probably 32.1 degrees F.

Aren't you also touching the remnants of Pan-Gaea?
goonzilla
I think you mean the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate
LiberalWASPsProtectSocietysVirtue
It's like the globe's taint.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Nah, that's south of Australia, the southern coast is the ass cheeks and Tasmania is the stray nugget hanging off by the hairs.

I'd definitely pee there

Two continents in an ocean sitting five feet apart because they're not gay.

Shouldn't North America be on the left? It is on my map.
rakunz
It explains it poorly but it’s the point where the NAmerican and the Eurasian tectonic plates meet
schrodingerscatfood
which is like a line, not a spot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
rakunz
I read your username as “Schrodinger scat food” and I just imagined you eating shit.

Not pictured: the water is 2-3degrees C and will feel like you are swimming in an ice cube

Crystal clear Icelandic water....with a touch of diver dan urine.

If you pissed in a drysuit it wouldn't come out...

Iceland is, geographically, neither part of Europe or of North America, it is a separate island nation per Google.
BitchButcher
Well, only from a geological point of view. FRom a political point of view you can't touch America and Europe.

It once was, remember. Until George Washington tried brewing tea with the Atlantic Ocean.
CTMGame
I can have one leg in French Guiana (an EU territory) and Brasil (a South American country) at once.
BitchButcher
nice
sebastVillain
Question is,is better than bath water?
mobbatbarnmedautomatvapen
Nope, there is more waterfilled rifts on Iceland....
FuckThatUsernameIsTaken
if europe and north america are so close, why does the plane ride last so long?
Invyggle
Because you arent flying to the closest points.

Water resistance > air resistance.

I'm pretty sure there is more than just that one spot... Like serously
RachTrap
nope, just that one spot, every other spot is just too wide.
MoodyMoose
Especially with really long jiggly arms
Contracepted
Nope. Everywhere else is africa
Asherdash
There is. And they don't require you to be underwater either. I stood in a fissure between two tectonic plates while there and did the same
RobJenkins
Depends how big your hands are I guess
YouButStronger
This is st þingvellir and there are plenty of cracks in the early there. Only 1 with clear water tho But the coutry is covered in cracks
Spacewoman
But the post said there is only one place and the internet never lies
Zerteiler
Maybe they meant iceland in general?
Hippopotamuss
At least 2.5 spots.
MaxximumB
maybe as many as 7.
rockdoctor
The person who told them that was the same person selling the scuba tour. The actual continental divide is around kilometer below them.
rockdoctor
Everything on the surface is just brittle fractureing of the rock. If you go to thingvellir, there’s thousands of these sorts of cracks.
rockdoctor
All of that aside, the water there is some of the clearest on earth. It’s an extraordinary place, and you absolutely should check it out.
