Eastern Volcanic Flank Zone (EVFZ).
The Eastern Volcanic Zone (EVZ) extends from the Bárdarbunga and Grímsvötn central volcanoes within the Vatnajökull ice cap in the northeast, to the Vestmannaeyjar central volcano in the southeast. Style of activity in the zone is very different north and south of its junction with the South Iceland...

| Summary: | The Eastern Volcanic Zone (EVZ) extends from the Bárdarbunga and Grímsvötn central volcanoes within the Vatnajökull ice cap in the northeast, to the Vestmannaeyjar central volcano in the southeast. Style of activity in the zone is very different north and south of its junction with the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ). Rifting structures (fissure swarms and hyaloclastite ridges) dominate north of the junction, in the so called Eastern Volcanic Rift Zone (EVRZ). South of the junction with the SISZ, little spreading has occurred and large central volcanoes are the dominating structures. This part of the EVZ is called the |
