Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. Read more ......
The mid-Atlantic ridge runs like a spine along the ocean floor between the North and South Atlantic Ocean. It is a constructive plate boundary where crust is created and not destroyed. In the north Atlantic it separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate and in the south-Atlanti...

The Icelandair Mid-Atlantic tradeshow is the ideal setting for travel industry professionals from around the globe to meet, and exchange ideas.
Long chains of undersea mounts (like the mid-Atlantic Ridge) and volcanic islands (like Iceland) typically characterize these type of plate margins.The direction of movement of the oceanic plates is laterally, away from the center of the ridge. (see the animation at left - courtesy of the ...
