Mid Atlantic Ridge#2, Iceland

I am standing on the North American Tectonic Plate. The mountains in the distance are on the Eurasian Tectonic Plate. The Mid Atlantic Ridge is under the lake in between. Volcanoes, geysers, and earthquakes!

This is the type of image I had hoped to get on my recent trip to Maine. I really want to go to Iceland.....anxious to see more of your shots!

As a geologist, I'm thoroughly enjoying this image for the geologic story it tells. And you've framed that story beautifully, with the dramatic scarps in the foreground. The buildings add a lot to the story, too--when I think of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, I never think of the fact that people actually live on it. But there's Iceland, an entire country that's made its peace with plate tectonics. Nice image, and a lot of food for thought here!

in addition to all that is said above, I am impressed by the rendering and texture visible in the whites. Superb, bravo.
