The two outposts of Icelandic volcanoes are both stratovolcanoes. They are outside the main volcanic zones, and do not fit with the most simplified version of Icelandic geology. One is too far to the west, the other too far to the east to match well with our most basic ideas about how Iceland is divided into its North American part and Eurasian part. The convection rolls model considered on this webpage is of course different, and according to the pattern emerging from the division lines between convection rolls, the positions become understandable. If there were no such reasons, such as convection rolls, the coincidence that those two mountains are exactly on the same latitude could not be explained. Of course it is easy just to ignore things like that, but these two volcanoes are both found on division lines between convection rolls, in a mirrored way.
It should also be mentioned that the distance from those two volcanoes to the main division line of the lower mantle, is exactly the same, when compared with the N-S axis of Hekla volcano. That means, of course, that the two Snæffells (Snæfellsjökull and Snæfell) are equidistant from Hekla. Such a coincidence can of course also be ignored, but according to this system of convection rolls, it is explainable, because Hekla does form on important crossings within the convection rolls division lines pattern. Different layers all have division lines under Hekla, four different convecting layers! The location of Hekla is therefore no coincidence, and the uppermost layer of mantle convection is upwelling underneath Hekla, making the location even more understandable. All over the world, countless similar patterns can be found, all in harmony with the convection rolls.
