Abstract We investigated bacterial and archaeal communities along an ice‐fed surficial hot spring at Kverkfjöll volcano—a partially ice‐covered basaltic volcano at Vatnajökull glacier, Iceland, using biomolecular (16S rRNA , apsA , mcrA , amoA , nifH genes) and stable isotope techniques. The hot spr...
