Magnetic Anomalies over Iceland

P. H. Serson 1, W. Hannaford 1, and G. V. Haines 1

1 Dominion Observatory, Ottawa, Canada

An aeromagnetic survey of Iceland reveals broad anomalies of large amplitude over zones of recent volcanic activity. The source of the anomalies is ascribed to large masses of basalt that have been coherently remagnetized by intrusive heating. A simple correlation of the Icelandic anomalies with those of the ocean floor therefore appears unjustified.
