According to the continental drift theory, the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates shift and drift apart in an endless clash of awe-inspring forces under the gaping rifts and chasms at the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland and elsewhere in the drift zone or the Icelandic Graben.  It actually is the continuation of the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

Over 1,000 years ago, the first Europeans to sail to America were Bjarni Herjolfsson, a native of Hafnir on the Reykjanes peninsula, and Leifur Eiriksson "The Lucky". Their long and dangerous voyages were made in open longships.

Today, however, you can follow in the footsteps of those early explorers by crossing the continental divide on Leif the Lucky's Bridge, and take home your own personalised certificate as a confirmation and a lasting reminder of this unforgettable experience.
