Abstract

We present compositional data on a suite of 18 primitive neovolcanic alkali basalts from three flank-zone regions in Iceland (Vestmannaeyjar in the south, Snæfell in the east, and Snæfellsnes in the west) that are peripheral to the main rift zones that are dominated by tholeiitic basalts. This study integrates He isotope data with radiogenic isotope data (Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf), stable isotope data (δ
