There are 7 volcanic zones and 30 volcanic systems in Iceland. Besides that, geothermal heat can be found in all parts of the country. Here I am dealing with all that and much more. The history of its geology and the understanding of the processes active today become so much clearer once the arrangement of the convection cells under the country is known.

I am a geologist, graduated from the University of Iceland, and taught geology for a few years. I have gained some knowledge about Earth's inner structure, so I provide this website as my contribution to answer one of the greatest questions remaining within the realm of geoscience. Experiments show that the mantle should form convection rolls when close to the melting point. I took this literally, and calculated the dimensions and shape of these mantle convection rolls. Then I compare that model with the surface. This makes it possible to provide many interesting examples about geology found on my blog. View all posts by Steingrimur Thorbjarnarson
