Situated on the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, Iceland is dominated by huge glaciers, black ashen deserts, and tremendous structures left by basaltic lava flows. A fault line that follows the rift zone bisects the island. In the project Design, Build, Ride: Iceland, I trace the rift zone, by single-speed bicycle. This route, permeated by the work of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates separating (rift) over eons, runs through a world of enthralling desolation and rapturous beauty - the Icelandic Highlands.  The central interior highlands are a stunning visual realization of rift zone geology. There are three volcanic zones in Iceland and the route traverses all three. For the project I use a titanium bike made to ride the geographical and geological wonder of Iceland. Single speed.
