    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".

    Fossil Finds of the Future
    FOSSIL FINDS OF THE FUTURE?

    Any games fan knows that consoles come and go, but what happens to all those old Playstations and Nintendos?

    Artist Christopher Locke has imagined what archaeologists of the future will be digging up - and a lot of the fossils will be discarded gaming systems.

    Shiny new technology means that old gadgets die off just like dinosaurs, and wacky Chris, from Austin, Texas, has likened them to the evolution of living things.

    He explains: "I had just been thinking a lot about the evolution of technology, and how quickly things evolve.

    "It takes living organisms millions of years to change in the way our household goods evolve in a single year."

    Dubbed 'modern fossils', the collection includes plaster models of controllers from outmoded consoles such as the N64 and PSone.

    There are also obsolete storage media such as floppy discs and cassette tapes.

    "We have things like iPhones, where you buy one with a 2 year contract, and before that contract is over, there is a better model? So why get new gadgets every year and encourage the rampant runaway evolution?

    "I am making these fossils to compare and contrast these rapidly evolving items with living organisms. Nature evolves to adapt. It's a fine tuning. Technology evolves to impress, to outdo, and to profit."

    Chris sells his limited edition works for between $50-$100 - or you can wait 10 million years and dig up your own.

    Fossil Finds of the Future
    FOSSIL FINDS OF THE FUTURE?

    Any games fan knows that consoles come and go, but what happens to all those old Playstations and Nintendos?

    Artist Christopher Locke has imagined what archaeologists of the future will be digging up - and a lot of the fossils will be discarded gaming systems.

    Shiny new technology means that old gadgets die off just like dinosaurs, and wacky Chris, from Austin, Texas, has likened them to the evolution of living things.

    He explains: "I had just been thinking a lot about the evolution of technology, and how quickly things evolve.

    "It takes living organisms millions of years to change in the way our household goods evolve in a single year."

    Dubbed 'modern fossils', the collection includes plaster models of controllers from outmoded consoles such as the N64 and PSone.

    There are also obsolete storage media such as floppy discs and cassette tapes.

    "We have things like iPhones, where you buy one with a 2 year contract, and before that contract is over, there is a better model? So why get new gadgets every year and encourage the rampant runaway evolution?

    "I am making these fossils to compare and contrast these rapidly evolving items with living organisms. Nature evolves to adapt. It's a fine tuning. Technology evolves to impress, to outdo, and to profit."

    Chris sells his limited edition works for between $50-$100 - or you can wait 10 million years and dig up your own.
