Jan 26, 2018 · The Jan Mayen Microcontinent petroleum province encompasses the entire area of the microcontinent and was defined as a single assessment unit (AU). Although its geology is poorly known, the microcontinent is thought to consist of late Paleozoic and Mesozoic rift basin stratigraphic sequences similar to those of the highly prospective Norwegian ...

Greenland (the North American continental plate) and Norway (the Eurasian continental plate) began to separate 55 million years ago. At this time, the continent of Jan Mayen was first left on the Greenland side. “But a few tens of millions of years later, it seems as if the crack that opened between the continents had ‘jumped’,” Planke said. “The s...
“The theory that the rift between the continental plates has ‘jumped’ from the east side to the west side of the Jan Mayen microcontinent is something we are working out now as we are studying this,” says Planke. A powerful argument that supports this theory is something that scientists call magnetic anomalies. The researchers have mapped these in ...
If Jan Mayen is actually a microcontinent — as much of the information researchers now have suggests — then the island Jan Mayen shares similarities with the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean. Both the island of Jan Mayen and the microcontinent it sits on top of are long and narrow. This is quite typical for microcontinents, since they have often sepa...
In a study published in 2020, researchers Joost M. van den Broek and Carmen Gaina at the Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED) at the University of Oslo identified and described five microcontinents. The same researchers may have helped to explain some very fundamental questions about the Earth's surface. Broek and Gaina think they can exp...

Recently acquired detailed bathymetric data in the vicinity of Jan Mayen has allowed us to document such correlation for the first time. The earthquake of 14 April 2004 (M w 6), which occurred along the jmfz, was studied in detail and correlated with the bathymetry. Locations of aftershocks within the first 12 hours after the mainshock outline ...

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.

Jul 12, 2022 · Abstract The volcanic, sesimological, and geodynamic conditions in the region of the Jan Mayen Island are analyzed. It is shown that a part of Berenberg active volcano, located in the northern part of the island, is within the active part of the Jan Mayen transform fault, and historic eruptions took place here. The volcano has a caldera, apparently of landslide origin. The maximum amplitude of ...
Remote Jan Mayen Island, located in the Norwegian Sea along the Jan Mayen Ridge about 650 km NE of Iceland, consists of two volcanic complexes separated by a narrow isthmus. The large Beerenberg basaltic stratovolcano (Nord-Jan) forms the NE end of the 40-km-long island, which is ringed by high cliffs. The glacier-covered Beerenberg has a 1-km-wide summit crater and numerous cinder cones that ...
