Jan Mayen (Urban East Norwegian: [jɑn ˈmɑ̀ɪən]) is a Norwegian volcanic island in the Arctic Ocean with no permanent population. It is 55 km (34 mi) long (southwest-northeast) and 373 km 2 (144 sq mi) in area, partly covered by glaciers (an area of 114.2 km 2 (44.1 sq mi) around the Beerenberg volcano ).

Feb 1, 1998 · In the Jan Mayen Basin around OBS6, the model consists of two sedimentary layers (V p =2.0 and 4.2–4.7 km s −1) and the upper (V p =5.8–6.1 km s −1) and lower continental crust (V p =6.7–6.8 km s −1), which corresponds to the structure obtained in the southwestern part of L5 . As shown in the model, the total thickness of the ...

Oct 15, 2014 · Jan Mayen, the most northerly island along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is one of them. As a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow on a Lindblad Expeditions adventure into the High Arctic, I had an amazing opportunity to visit this remote volcanic island spilling five glaciers into the Arctic Ocean on July 6, 2014. Geography.
Based on observations from moored instruments deployed on the shelf and the continental slope of the Jan Mayen Island from August 2017 to August 2018, we document the mean state and the variability of the currents, temperature and salinity and their associated vertical structure.
Nov 1, 2012 · Our case study is the Jan Mayen Microcontinent (JMMC) located in the central part of the Norwegian–Greenland Sea. We have revised its basement and sedimentary geometries using modern and vintage seismic reflection profiles, and updated potential field data.

Jan Mayen microplate complex The JMMC has a bathymetric signature stretching >500 km from north to south in the central part of the Norwegian–Greenland Sea (Fig. 1)(Gudlaugs-son et al. 1988; Kuvaas & Kodaira 1997; Blischke et al. 2017). It is bordered to the north by the Jan Mayen Fracture Zone and the volcanic complex of Jan Mayen Island.
Sep 8, 2016 · We present a revised tectonostratigraphy of the Jan Mayen microcontinent (JMMC) and its southern extent, with the focus on its relationship to the Greenland–Iceland–Faroe Ridge area and the Faroe–Iceland Fracture Zone. The microcontinent's Cenozoic evolution consists of six main phases corresponding to regional stratigraphic unconformities.
