Active Basalt Alteration at Supercritical Conditions in a Seawater‐Recharged Hydrothermal System: IDDP‐2 Drill Hole, Reykjanes, Iceland

Active Basalt Alteration at Supercritical Conditions in a Seawater‐Recharged Hydrothermal System: IDDP‐2 Drill Hole, Reykjanes, Iceland

Abstract The 4.5 km deep IDDP‐2 drill hole was drilled at Reykjanes, Iceland, in an active seawater‐recharged hydrothermal system on the landward extension the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge. Drilling targeted a well‐defined hydrothermal up‐flow zone feeding the Reykjanes geothermal reservoir, which produces fl...
