Provincia ígnea del Atlántico Norte

La provincia ígnea del Atlántico Norte o provincia ígnea Brito-Ártica es una gran provincia ígnea que se estima cubre un área de por le menos 1.3×10⁶ km² y cuyos productos tiene un volumen de 6.6×10⁶ km³.^[1] Geográficamente la Provincia Ígnea del Atlántico Norte compone la totalidad del norte del océano Atlántico incluyendo basaltos paleocenos y eocenos de Groenlandia, Islandia, Reino Unido, Dinamarca, Noruega y muchas islas en el noreste del Atlántico.^[2]^[3]

The total crustal volume is 6.6×10⁶ km³, resulting in a mean crustal accretion rate of 2.2 km³/yr. Thus NAVP ranks among the world's larger igneous provinces if the volcanic margins are considered.”
