This book offers a comprehensive overview of the geology of Iceland in relation to the mid-ocean ridge. It provides detailed descriptions of the country’s general geology, focusing on volcano-tectonic activity including central volcanoes, calderas, plutons, swarms of faults and fissures, dyke emplacement, and earthquakes. Iceland—the only large subaerial part of the mid-ocean ridge system—is characterized by a very unique and complex geology. The content is supplemented by a wealth of illustrations and an extensive bibliography.
