The geodynamics laboratory provided by Iceland’s position on an active mid-ocean ridge has been recognized for several decades. Geodetic experiments have been designed and carried out in Iceland since 1938 to verify various global geodynamic theories, such as Wegener’s theory of continental drift, t...
