Kolbeinsey Ridge

The Kolbeinsey Ridge is a segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located to the north of Iceland in the Arctic Ocean. It is bounded to the south by the Tjörnes Fracture Zone, which connects the submarine ridge to the on-shore Northern Volcanic Zone rifting center in eastern Iceland.[1] The volcanic islands Kolbeinsey and Grímsey lie along the Kolbeinsey Ridge.
