Abstract
Unlike chlorine and bromine, fluorine is not appreciably outgassed from basalts erupted above 500 m depth along the Reykjanes Ridge and subaerially over Iceland. The mantle beneath Iceland seems to be twice as rich in fluorine as the asthenosphere source of normal ridge basalts south of 61°N.
