Description
The site scanned is located just south of the Tjornes Peninsula, specifically at the intersection of the Husavik-Flatey fault (the central lineament of the Tjornes Fault Zone) and of the Gudfinnugja fault (the westernmost fissure swarm of the Northern Volcanic Zone).
Objective
The goal was to scan a 0.5 km3 area of the fault intersection at centimeter resolution.
