Um goshálsar í Føroyum
Um so er, at goskluftir hava verið í teimum norðaru
fjørðunum við, liggur nær at halda, at eitt nærri sam*
band eisini er millum goskluftirnar og firðirnar, soleiðis
at sjálvur upprunin á fjørðunum eigur at verða settur í
samband við goskluftirnar.
SUMMARY
The present paper deals with volcanic necks observed in the Faroes:
2 in Koltur, 1 in Vágar, 1 in Streymoy, 1 in Kallsoy, 1 in Borðoy,
and 3 in Viðoy. It is pointed out that all of them have been observed
in the Middle Basalt Sequence, and it is supposed that they have been
feeding this sequence. Besides it is pointed out that the necks observed
are situated along the NW—SE oriented fiords, and that earlier des*
cribed eruption fissures, supposed to have been feeding the Lower
Basalt Sequence, are also following the fiord direction. Consequently
it is supposed that the above-mentioned necks are situated on and
along old fissures, and that the fiords possible is determined by the
NV—SE direction of these fissures.
