Scuba diver explores widening gap between America and Eurasia tectonic plates, Iceland - 02 May 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Alexander Mustard/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1327148g )
Diver Explores Gap Between Continents
He may appear to be exploring the crystal clear waters of a normal underwater canyon but this diver is actually swimming between two continents.
The gap between Europe and the United States is slowly widening as the two tectonic plates they sit upon move apart at the rate of an inch a year.
These spectacular underwater photographs show the vast gap between the American and Eurasia plates, as seen by a British scuba diver.
Alex Mustard, 36, dived 80 feet into the crevice between North America and Eurasia to reveal the stunning landscape.
The area - near Iceland - is riddled with faults, valleys, volcanoes and hot springs, caused by the plates pulling apart at about 1inch per year.
Alex snapped away as he and his dive partners swam through fresh water canyons Silfra, Nes and Nikulasargja, which are up to 200 feet deep.
He also took photographs of the Arnarnes Strytur chimney, which forms a cloudy plume as 80C water is ejected from the earth's crust and hits the cool 4C seawater.
Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "The photos show diving in the unique underwater world of Iceland which, like on land, is formed by the volcanic landscape of the country.
"Many people visit Iceland to see these features on land but they also continue underwater.
"For a scuba diver these are spectacular places to visit - being able to fly through the clear water and explore the fault lines in three dimensions.
"I have dived all around the world and this is almost certainly the clearest water I have ever been in.
"Many people have an experience of vertigo from the sheer walls and clear water".
