The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is primarily a Northern Hemisphere phenomenon. It's southern-most extent is found at Bouvet Island (Olavtoppen, 780 m, at 54°24′S 03°21′E), which is north of the Antarctic Circle.
In a million years, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge will look very similar the the present day Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents a divergent plate boundary.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of thelongest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to theBouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.[1]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge
