Summary: | Abstract: This dataset reports whole-rock and glass geochemical data for 376 samples from the Western Volcanic Zone of Iceland. Samples were collected 1996-2011. Whole rock samples were analyzed by wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and ICP-MS; glass analyzed by electron microprobe.
