Evidence from episodic seamount volcanism for pulsing of the Iceland plume in the past 70 Myr.

The North Atlantic volcanic province has been attributed to continental rifting about 60 Myr ago over an Iceland plume head with a diameter of 1,O00-2,000km (refs 1, 2). But evidence from a few igneous centres
