Abstract Core 95‐HV was obtained from Lake Hestvatn, southern Iceland, after a seismic survey had identified a sediment sequence over 45 m thick in the lake. The core penetrated ca. 25 m into the sediment correlating with seismostratigraphic unit 2 of alternating seismic facies, with semi‐parallel r...
