N2 - The NW peninsula of Iceland is built mainly by tholeiitic, low K flood basalts that show a regional southeasterly dip, generally of less than 10 degree . Stratigraphic mapping of the lava sequence, exceeding 7 km in total thickness, together with detailed paleomagnetic and K-Ar age measurements are used to document the history of the geomagnetic field over some 6 Ma of late Tertiary time. In addition, this study provides much basic information relevant to the geological history of Iceland.
