The correct answer is: C)Iceland .

The fissure formed in the Iceland is called Silfra. It is a fissure filled with fresh spring water within lake of National Park in Iceland.

It was formed 40 years ago due to the movements of the tectonic plates. The North American and Eurasian plates, separate at about 2 cm per year, and they tear open fissures in the land between them.
