The mid ocean ridge systems are the largest geological features on the planet. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mostly underwater mountain range in the Atlantic Ocean that runs from 87Â°N-about 333km south of the North Pole-to subantarctic Bourvet island at 54Â°S.ost of the ridge system is under water but forms land as a set of volcanic islands of varying size that run the length of the Atlantic Ocean. These islands are: 1  Jan Mayen (Norway). 2  Iceland. 3  Azores (Portugal). 4  St Paulâs rock (Brazil). 5  Ascension Island (UK).
