The thrill of traversing uncharted territories, the rush of exploring the unexplored and the joy of stumbling upon hidden gems, travel has a way of igniting our sense of wonder. And then, there are places that defy the ordinary, pushing the boundaries of geography and imagination.
Imagine standing with one foot on one continent and the other on another. Sounds like a far-fetched fantasy, right? But a shopping centre in Hverageroi, Iceland, makes this possible. A viral video, shared on Instagram, showcases Sunnumork shopping mall's quirky bathroom feature. It allows visitors to stand with one foot on the North American tectonic plate and the other on the Eurasian plate. So if you use their bathroom, you can experience peeing on two continents simultaneously.
The side note read, "The things we accidentally find when we stop to go to the bathroom! Save this spot if so, you can literally pee on two continents at the same time!! While stopping for snacks and a bathroom break, we stumbled upon this shopping centre built across the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates." Watch the video here.
