This rift valley in Iceland stretches along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are pulling apart from each other. The body of water to the right, Lake Thingvallavatn, is the largest lake in Iceland and was formed as a result of volcanic activity around the rift. The Thingvellir rift grows about 1 centimeter (.4 inch) every year.
