Jan Mayen is a small volcanic island situated 550 km north of Iceland. Glacial sediments and landforms are relatively common on the island but, so far, only a few of them have been dated. In this study, we present and discuss 89 36 Cl dates of primarily glacial and volcanic events on Jan Mayen. Calc...
