Just a jump from Europe to America

Just a jump from Europe to America
in the rift zone between the Eurasian and American plates. The jump isn't quite as harmless as it looks, see note.

hFF, folks!

Hi Gudrun
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice demonstration of continental drift!
I remember visiting this rift on my visit to Iceland, but no spectacular picture I am afraid.
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Impressive rift! The San Andreas isn't nearly so impressive because it's not a spreading center!

The San Andreas fault is more dangerous;-) Here you'll just have effusive eruptions with small fire fountains but no really disastrous quakes.
