The existence of the Silfra fissure is attributed to the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates at a rate of approximately two centimeters annually, creating a crevice in the terrain. This crevasse is filled with glacial water from Langjökull glacier, which takes decades to seep through lava fields before it arrives at Silfra, resulting in water that is exceptionally clear and potable.
