This i'm afraid to say is going to be our last stop, which i will describe. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is a divergent plate boundary located down the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and it is part of the longest mountain range in the world. This boundary is a separation zone between the Eurasian Plate and the North American plate in the Atlantic. It also separates the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The photo above shows a tourist excursion through the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This was definitely crazy interesting for me. Their were cliffs and many rocky mountains. Sandra was afraid to walk through because she was worried that rocks would fall on her (haha Sandra is so funny).
In order to visit the Mid Atlantic Ridge we had to travel all the way to Iceland by plane from India. This was a very beautiful place and i'm going to write one more blog about the science/plate tectonics behind the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
