Geodynamics of rift-plume interaction in Iceland as constrained by new 40Ar/39Ar and in situ U-Pb zircon ages
International audience The interaction between a rift zone and a mantle plume leads to exceptional situations in Iceland where the island is 1.5 wider than expected, given the North-Atlantic spreading rate. In order to give a better idea of the timeframe of this evolution, we present 32 new 40Ar/39A...
