Oct 11: The bridge (allegedly) between the continents

The Bridge between two continents (sometimes identified as Miðlina) at Sandvík is a small footbridge over a major fissure which provides clear evidence of the presence of a divergent plate margin. The bridge was built as a symbol for the connection between Europe and North America. 

One can cross the continental divide on Leif the Lucky’s Bridge and take home a personalized certificate from the Reykjanes Information Center. Here, although the sign tells us we are crossing a bridge “between two continents”, we are really only standing on the northwestern margin of the rift zone.

It's a good stop off on the route around the Reykjanes peninsula.
