Silfra Fissure is a rift created as a result of an earthquake in 1789. This diving and snorkeling site is located in the Thingvellir National Park and is the only place in the world where you can dive or snorkel directly in a crack between two tectonic plates. This is where the Euro-Asian and North American tectonic plates meet. However, the two continents drift apart about 2 cm per year.
The rift is filled with glacial meltwater that is filtered through porous underground lava for 30-100 years before reaching the spring that feeds into Silfra. That’s why this water is intensely clear and offers over 100m visibility. Silfra is said to have the clearest water in the world.
There’s no other place on Earth 🌍 to dive in such crystal clear blue water 🌊
