Abstract

The growth of island chains by the linear migration of volcanic activity is manifest, to varying degrees, in the surface geology of a number of island groups. In Hawaii, the classic example, this pattern is attested by present-day volcanism, geomorphology, and geochronology. The recent discovery of the currently active Macdonald volcano at the southeastern extension of the Austral chain supports the validity of a linear volcanic migration pattern for that group as well.
