International audience To study the dynamics of dyke and fissure swarms in Iceland, we analyse the distribution of the dykes across the Tertiary Alftafjördur dyke swarm and that of open fissures and faults across the active Krafla fissure swarm. Within these narrow (5 to 10 km wide) and long (length...
