From 100 Words for Wind to Safe Tap Water–Surprising Facts You Didn’t Know About Iceland

Iceland is the only place in the world where you can swim between two tectonic plates, making it a unique and sought-after destination for many travelers. The rift is a crack between two continents formed by the separation of tectonic plates, and in some areas, it’s so narrow that visitors can touch both sides at the same time. Iceland is also renowned for having some of the cleanest water in the world.
