This is actually the rift between America and Europe, at a place called Thingvellir. The photo is taken from the American side, with the mountains in the distance being Europe. The large flat area in the middle is the new land being formed as the two move apart at a rate of 2 metres per century, which is actually pretty fast by tectonic standards.
