We present a detailed field structural survey of the area of interaction between the active NW-striking transform Husavik-Flatey Fault (HFF) and the N–S Theystareykir Fissure Swarm(TFS), in North Iceland, integrated by analog scaled models. Field data contribute to a better understanding of how tran...
