Iceland, Eldgjá photos by Alan Grinberg |
 |
|
"Eldgjá, the Fire Chasm" Iceland sits directly on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the line of volcanic activity that marks the separation of the North American plate and the Eurasian plate (see Plate Tectonics). In 934 or 935 a major erruption from this chasm poured out the largest amount of lava in historic time. |
