View from a dolerite cliff

by Eivind Straume

Dolerite rocks cropping out on Diabasodden on Svalbard, Norway. The cliff provide spectacular view over Isfjorden which is the second longest fjord in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. Similar intrusions are found in variety of places in the Arctic, and have been related to the High Arctic Large Igneous Province (HALIP).
