We describe the lithology and present spatially resolved geochemical analyses of samples from the hydrothermally altered Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) drill core RN-17B. The 9.3m long RN-17B core was collected from the seawater-dominated Reykjanes geothermal system, located on the Reykjanes P...
