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.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.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.
