В книге "Iceland within the Northern Atlantic. Volume 1" авторы описывают уникальный вулканический остров Исландия. Геологическое место Исландии привлекает внимание из-за своего расположения в центре Атлантического океана и неоднократных оледенений в прошлом.
Эта книга рассказывает историю острова который связан с открытием Северной Атлантики и реанимированием древнего шва на дне океана Япетус. В данном труде также рассмотрена история климатических изменений которая частично контролируется динамикой морского дна. Авторы анализируют движение океанической тектонической плиты Jan-Mayen и процесс постепенного формирования острова Исландия из слияния Гринландско-Фарерског хребта. Книга также изучает
This book examines the impact that the geological and volcanic history of oceans has had on the physical geography of a specific volcanic island, Iceland. Focusing on the position of Iceland in the northern Atlantic Ocean, the complex multiple glacial histories of this volcanic raising land mass is explained to be an important indicator of previous climats in North Hemispheric climates. Lays out with regards to both the interior and exterior geography of the globe, it compares and contrasts the genesis, and possibly corrections, of current Icesal conditions and evolution.

The volcanic island of Iceland is a unique geological place due both to its position in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and its repeated glaciations. It has been an accurate recorder of geodynamic and regional climatic evolutions for at least the last 15 million years.<br /><br />This book traces the history of Iceland, which is linked to the opening of the North Atlantic and the reactivation of the ancient suture of the Iapetus Ocean. It gives a view of climate evolution that is partly controlled by the dynamics of the ocean floor and analyzes the movement of the Jan Mayen tectonic plate and the progressive insularization of the Greenland–Faroe Ridge, which gave birth to Iceland. It also tries to understand the formation and migration of the deep Iceland hotspot and the lava flows that have, for millions of years, shaped this island.<br /><br />This book brings together the internal and external geodynamics of our planet to understand how Iceland functions and its role as a recorder of the paleoclimatic evolution of the Northern Hemisphere.
