Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 41, No. 2, Pg. 35:
A map of the world’s major hotspots shows that many of them are integrally connected to the global mid-ocean ridge system (red lines). Green lines indicate subduction zones, where plates plunge back into the mantle. Not shown is the Jan Mayen hotspot north of Iceland.
