Þeistareykjarbunga

Theistareykir

Volcán en escudo · Iceland · 563 m

Stóravíti crater, seen here from the SE, is 600 m across and 140 m deep. It is located in the summit area of the Holocene Theistareykjarbunga shield volcano, part of the northernmost subaerial volcanic system along the Eastern Volcanic Zone of Iceland. The youngest dated eruption in this system produced the Theistareykjahraun lava flow about 2,400 years ago.

Resumen geológico

The Holocene Theistareykir fissure system, including the basaltic Theistareykjarbunga shield volcano, extends from north of Myvatn lake to the coast of Iceland.

The 30 km3 Theistareykjarbunga shield volcano formed slightly after deglaciation; the youngest dated eruption produced the Theistareykjahraun lava flow about 2,400 years ago.
