Gunnarssonar um aflaheimildir fiskiskipa úr stofnum utan lögsögu Íslands. Ráðuneytið sendi fyrirspurnina til Fiskistofu og fer svar hennar hér á eftir. 1. Úr hvaða stofnum hefur verið ákveðið að takmarka heildarafla skv. 6. gr. laga nr. 151/1996, um fiskveiðar utan lögsögu Íslands? Hvernig var aflahlutdeild ákveðin hverju sinni, hvaða skip fengu hlutdeild og hve mikla í hverju tilviki? Stofnar utan íslenskrar lögsögu sem lúta aflatakmörkunum eru: Þorskur í rússneskri lögsögu, þorskur í norskri lögsögu og rækja á Flæmingjagrunni. Aflahlutdeild í þorski í Barentshafi (í rússneskri lögsögu og í norskri lögsögu) var úthlutað 19. júlí 1999. Aflahlutdeild einstakra skipa var ákveðin í reglugerð nr. 306/1999, um úthlutun þorskaflahlutdeildar í Barentshafi. Aflahlutdeild í rækju á Flæmingjagrunni var úthlutað í janúar 1997. Aflahlutdeild einstakra skipa var ákveðin í reglugerð nr. 685/1996, um úthlutun veiðiheimilda á Flæmingjagrunni. Töflur nr. 1, 2, og 3 eru listar yfir skip sem fengu við upphafsúthlutun úthlutað aflahlut- deild í þorski í rússneskri lögsögu, þorski í norskri lögsögu og rækju á Flæmingjagrunni. Tafla 1.

  • Iceland Can Be Considered Volcanologist “Heaven”
    Iceland can be considered volcanologist “heaven” 1) Sub-aerial continuation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge 2) Intersection of a mantle plume with a spreading ocean ridge 3) Volcanism associated with tectonic rifting 4) Sub-glacial volcanism 5) Tertiary flood (plateau) basalts 6) Bi-modal volcanism 7) Submarine volcanism 8) 18 historically active volcanoes 9) Eruptions roughly every 5 years 1. The North Atlantic opened about 54 Ma separating Greenland from Europe. 2. Spreading was initially along the now extinct Agir ridge (AER). 3. The Icelandic plume was under Greenland at that time. 4. The Greenland – Faeroe ridge represents the plume track during the history of the NE Atlantic. Kolbeinsey ridge (KR) 5. During the last 20 Ma the Reykjanes Ridge (RR) Icelandic rift zones have migrated eastward, stepwise, maintaining their position near the plume 6. The plume center is thought to be beneath Vatnajökull 1 North Rift Zone – currently active East Rift Zone – currently active West Rift Zone – last erupted about 1000-1300 AD [Also eastern (Oræfajökull) and western (Snæfellsnese) flank zones] Rift zones comprise en-echelon basaltic fissure swarms 5-15 km wide and up to 200 km long. Over time these fissures swarms develop a volcanic center, eventually maturing into a central volcano with a caldera and silicic Tertiary volcanics > 3.1 Ma volcanism Late Tertiary to Early Quaternary 3.1 – 0.7 Ma Neo-volcanic zone <0.7 - present Schematic representation of Iceland’s mantle plume. The crust is about 35 – 40 km thick Iceland’s mantle plume has been tomographically imaged down to 400 km. Some claim even deeper, through the transition zone, and down to the core – mantle boundary.

  • Iceland Straight Baselines
    2 STRAIGHT BASELINES: ICELAND Iceland's most recent action altering their system of straight baselines was the issuance on March 11, 1961, of the Regulations Concerning the Fishery Jurisdiction of Iceland. The Regulations were promulgated on April 22, 1961. These 1961 Regulations alter the straight baselines of the preceding decrees of 1952 and 1958. An exchange of notes between Iceland and the United Kingdom, on March 11, 1961, specified the changes that were to be made to the 1958 decree and incorporated in the new 1961 declaration. Iceland claims a four nautical-mile territorial sea and a 12 nautical mile fishery limit, as measured from the straight baselines. Iceland, although a signatory, is not a party to any of the four 1958 Geneva conventions on the law of the sea. These conventions concern the territorial sea and contiguous zone, the high seas, the continental shelf, and fishing and conservation of living resources of the high seas. The pertinent articles of the Regulations concerning the Fishery Jurisdiction of Iceland are as follows: Article 1 The fishery jurisdiction of Iceland shall be delimited 12 nautical miles outside base lines drawn between the following points: 1. Horn 66° 27'4 N Lat. 22° 24'5 W. Long. 2. Asbudarrif 66° 08'1 N 20° 11'2 W. 3. Siglunes 66° 11'9 N 18° 50'1 W. 4. Flatey 66° 10'3 N 17° 50'5 W. 5. Lagey 66° 17'8 N 17° 07'0 W. 6.

  • 40. Magmatic Development of the Southeast Greenland Margin and Evolution of the Iceland Plume: Geochemical Constraints from Leg 1521
    Saunders, A.D., Larsen, H.C., and Wise, S.W., Jr. (Eds.), 1998 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 152 40. MAGMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTHEAST GREENLAND MARGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE ICELAND PLUME: GEOCHEMICAL CONSTRAINTS FROM LEG 1521 Andrew D. Saunders,2 Hans Christian Larsen,3 and J. Godfrey Fitton4 ABSTRACT Leg 152, located on the southeast Greenland Margin, successfully recovered igneous rocks from three drill sites along a transect at 63°N: 915, 917, and 918. The margin is characterized by a 150-km-wide sequence of seaward-dipping reflectors (SDRS), and thus has an architecture typical of volcanic rifted margins. Site 917 was located close to the inboard, feather-edge of the SDRS, on the continental shelf, and drilling recovered rocks ranging in composition from picrite to dacite. Site 915 was immediately oceanward of Site 917, and Site 918 was located on the continental rise, in the main sequence of the SDRS. Drill- ing at both Sites 915 and 918 recovered basalt. Ash horizons were cored in the sediment column at Site 918 and Site 919 in the Irminger Basin. The oldest recovered lavas (the Lower and Middle Series from Site 917), erupted approximately 61 m.y. ago, sit on steeply dipping pre-rift metasediments. They are variably contaminated by ancient amphibolite- and granulite-facies crust, consistent with eruption in a continental setting before plate breakup. A few of the Lower Series lavas are high-MgO basalts. The amount of contamination decreased dramatically in the succeeding Upper Series lavas, which also show evidence for a rapid shallowing of the average depth of melting, and contain a high proportion of picrites and high-MgO basalts.

  • The Skagafjörður Volcanic Zone – an Ephemeral Rift Zone
    - 65 - The Skagafjörður Volcanic Zone – An ephemeral Rift Zone Árni Hjartarson Geological Museum, Øster Voldgade 5-7, DK-1350 Copenhagen K National Energy Authority, Grensásvegur 9, 108 Reykjavik, Iceland Fax +354 568 8896 [email protected] Abstract In the Skagafjörður district, North Iceland, an unconformity with a sedimentary layer divides the strata pile into Neogene and Pleistocene volcanic successions. Neogene volcanism faded out 4-5 Ma when the area drifted out of the volcanic zone near the diverging boundaries of the North American and Eurasian crustal plates, after which erosion took over for about a million years. Volcanism started again at the beginning of the Pleistocene. Lava flows covered the eroded Neogene landscape and an uncon- formity was formed. It is proposed that the Pleistocene volcanic rocks above the unconformity all belong to a short-lived axial rift zone, the Skagafjörður zone. Eruptive sites belonging to this zone can be found dispersed in the area between the Hofsjökull central volcano and the mouth of Skagafjörður. The oldest volcanic formations of the Pleistocene rock series are from about 1.7 Ma, when rifting in the area started. The activity culminated in the early Pleistocene but declined in the late Pleistocene, and in the Holocene the activity seems to have been restricted entirely to the Hofsjökull central volcano. A prominent fault and fissure system belongs to the Skagafjörður zone. The tectonics indicate extension. It is suggested that a decline in the activity of the Iceland Mantle Plume, 2-3 million years ago, caused a rift jump away from the hot spot below Vatnajökull and formation of a temporary rift zone, the Skagafjörður zone, which for a while bridged the shortest way between the Reykjanes-Langjökull zone and Kolbeinsey ridge.

  • RIDGE 2000 Integrated Study Site Proposal for Hotspot-Influenced
    RIDGE 2000 Integrated Study Site Proposal for Hotspot-Influenced Oceanic Spreading Centers: Iceland and the Reykjanes and Kolbeinsey Ridges Summary We propose that the Reykjanes Ridge, Iceland, and the Kolbeinsey Ridge be the integrated study site for hotspot-influenced spreading centers. Whereas previous RIDGE efforts have focused on spreading rate as the primary variable, the Iceland-MAR system offers an opportunity to examine how mantle temperature and source compositions influence processes in the mantle and crust, and how such processes influence and are affected by hydrothermal venting and biological communities along mid-ocean ridges. Because of the vastly different intrinsic length scales of processes from mantle to microbes at hotspot-influenced spreading centers, the comprehensive investigations outlined in the RIDGE Integrated Studies Program will have to be carried out in nested study areas, where regions of small-scale processes (e.g., vent) are encompassed by the study areas of large-scale processes (e.g., mantle flow). We envision that integrated studies in this area will first involve a characterization of long-wavelength variations in physical structure, chemistry, hydrothermal venting, and biological communities over the region of plume influence (~MAR 57º-71.5ºN). This characterization will fill in the gaps of an already extensive database. It will then be followed by studies focused on the linkages between the crust, hydrothermal circulation, and biological communities at an active volcanic and hydrothermal area (such as the Steinahóll vent site on the Reykjanes Ridge 63º06’N) to examine variations on length scales of tens of kilometers. A secondary submarine site at a different end of the spectrum of plume influence will provide a comparison for isolating the effects of plume influence from that of spreading rate and oblique plate-spreading if the primary site is on the Reykjanes Ridge.
