The fascinating symmetry of the convection cell system appears in this drawing:
The mountains Snæfellsjökull and Snæfell have the same distance to the division line from Ölfus, over Hveravellir and to Skjálfandi.
To emphasize further on the regularity, look at the position of Hekla:
This is one of many proofs of the existence of the system of mantle currents.

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.
