The density structure of the oceanic lithosphere north of Iceland is key for understanding the effects of the Iceland plume on the greater Jan Mayen‐East Greenland Region. We obtain the 3‐D density structure of the sediments and the crust from regional reflection and refraction seismic lines. The te...
