Silfra fissure: Silfra fissure is the most unique place on earth. It is located in Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, a rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This is the only place in the world where you can dive between two tectonic plates. If you dive into the middle of this crack, you can touch two continents (Europe and North America). In a way, it is an adventure of a lifetime. Now a video of this crack is going viral.
This video has been posted on the social media platform This video of one minute 33 seconds is very amazing, in which you can see how a diver expresses his happiness when he touches the walls of both the continents inside this crack.

Apart from this, a wonderful view of the lake inside Silfra Fissure can also be seen in the video. The water of the lake is so clear that the view around the rocks is clearly visible. This lake is one of the cleanest waters in the world. In fact the crack is filled with clear spring water from the nearby Langjökull glacier. The space between the plates is so narrow that you can touch both continents at once, so some people say that the experience is amazing.
