Upper Mantle Structure Along the Axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near Iceland

Apparent velocity measurements of P arrivals from Mid-Atlantic Ridge earthquakes across pairs of stations in Iceland and Greenland have been made using bulletin data. They define both the vertical and horizontal extent of the low velocity anomalous mantle zone between 50° and 70° N.
