Polar & Subpolar

The Iceland–Faroe Ridge is a shallow underwater bridge between Iceland and the Faroe Islands. Cold, heavy water flows over it into the Atlantic, driving global ocean currents. These flows are part of the “conveyor belt” that moves heat around the planet. The ridge itself is built from both old rocks and volcanic crust.
