low relief; its deviations from the 52000 gamma base line have
heen multiplied hy five in a duplicate south-shifted profile in Fig.
5. “Ishorg” results and Fig. 12 of ref. 18, demonstrate that the nega-
tive (Matuyama?) anomaly mapped by Sigurgeirsson (1) over the
north tip of the peninsula continues into the sea on both sides of
the north tip.
The low magnetic relief in parts of the Faxaflói bay continues
to the southwest in the profiles of Serson et al. (2). Palmason and
Johnson (gravity and unpublished seismic data quoted by (19))
have also inferred the presence of thick sediments southwest of the
bay. The same is the case south of the Reykjanes peninsula, where
detailed magnetic results are being processed by the author: mag-
