The eastern and northwestern portion of the Icelandic landmass are the oldest, having formed more than three million years ago.
Between those two areas lies an inverted Y-shaped area (in a Southwestern-Northeastern direction) that is part of the Mid-Atlantic Rift, which is less than 700,000 years old. This is where the tectonic plates meet. New land is forming here constantly, as North America and Europe are moving further and further apart.
