Tänkte att ni skulle få en liten insikt i hur vackert det var bland de platser vi besökte igår (lördag) under en exkursion i kursen Igneous Petrology. Området vi rörde oss i var Reykjanes Peninsula (syd-västra Island)

The modern study of igneous rocks is done using several techniques some of the developed in the areas of chemistry and physics or from other earth sciences. Petrography,crystallography, and isotopic studies are common methods used in igneous petrology.
