Iceland is a geologically complex country with a multitude of different types of volcanoes, while also sitting atop of a mantle plume. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the chemical compositions of volcanic glass analyses from Askja, Bardarbunga, Fagradalsfjall, Geitafell, Grimsvotn/Laki, H...
