Abstract
The headlands between the fjords Arnarfjördur and Patreksfjördur in northwest Iceland, consisting mostly of Upper Tertiary plateau basalt lavas, have been geologically mapped in detail. Magnetic properties of samples from some 50 lava flows and dykes in the region have been measured; the mean palaeomagnetic pole position obtained from forty normally magnetized lavas is at 88°N113°E. The application of the present work to stratigraphic correlation and magnetic anomaly interpretation in northwest Iceland is discussed.
