abstract |
The geology of Tindfjallajökull volcano, southern Iceland, is presented as a 1:50,000
scale map. Field mapping was carried out with a focus on indicators of past environments.
A broad stratocone of interbedded fragmental rocks and lavas was constructed during
Tindfjallajökull’s early development. This stratocone has been dissected by glacial
erosion and overlain by a variety of mafic to silicic volcanic landforms. Eruption
of silicic magma, which probably occurred subglacially, constructed a thick pile of
breccia and lava lobes in the summit area. Mafic to intermediate flank eruptions continued
through to the end of the last glacial period, producing lavas, hyaloclastite-dominated
units and tuyas that preserve evidence of volcano-ice interactions. The Thórsmörk
Ignimbrite, a regionally important chronostratigraphic marker, is present on the SE
flank of the volcano. The geological mapping of Tindfjallajökull gives insights into
the evolution of stratovolcanoes in glaciated regions and the influence of ice in
their development. |
