Description :
The aim of this paper is : to understand the genesis and preservation of interglacial deposits in northern Iceland; and to discuss the significance of these deposits in terms of rift activity, volcanism, paleoseismicity and their link with deglaciation. Comparison with Late Glacial/Holocene deglaciation deposits is provided. Most of the described outcrops are located within the present-day active microseismic zone.
