Þeistareykir is the northernmost volcanic system in Iceland, consisting of a low Holocene shield and a fissure swarm extending from Mývatn in the south to the coast of Tjörnes in the north. The whole area is crossed by numerous rifts and grabens where the Eurasian and American plates diverge.

Þeistareykir ist das nördlichste Vulkansystem in Island. Es besteht aus einem niedrigen Schildvulkan aus dem Holozän und einem Spaltenschwarm, der sich von Mývatn im Süden bis zur Tjörnes- Halbinsel im Norden erstreckt. Das ganze Gebiet ist von Gräben und Rissen durchzogen, die beim Auseinanderdriften der eurasischen und amerikanischen Platte entstehen.

A fantastic landscape..................i't difficult to imagine the powerful forces that forged that massive fissure..!!

The sky in this shot is particularly beautiful Gunrun. The close up image in the PiP shows all the wonderful detail and textures perfectly.

Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you, Keith! On average the plates drift apart by 2 cm a year, but often they get stuck for centuries and then rip apart in one go;-) The weather did cooperate that day!

Und irgendwann ist das Land in mehrere Teile zerfallen?
Schöne Bilder zeigst du hier, Gudrun!

Gudrun club has replied to Ruesterstaude club
Besten Dank, Volker! Island liegt auf auf dem mittelatlantischen Rücken und auf einem Hotspot, d.h. es kommt immer wieder Magma nach und füllt die Lücken. Hier kann man etwas an Land bestaunen, was normalerweise nur auf dem Meeresboden passiert.
