- Abstract: Krafla Geothermal Field is located inside the Krafla Caldera in the Northeast of Iceland. The tectonic settings consist of a central volcano and its corresponding fissure swarm formed due to extension from plate spreading. The central volcano has a collapsed caldera dating ~110.000 years (Sæmundsson, 2008). Within the Krafla post Caldera collapse period, the orientation of the different extensional eruptive fissures evidence rotation of the plate. The initial events evidence above 20 degrees from North strike, whereas more recent events shifted orientation to be closer to 15 degrees North (Árnason, 2020). This paper discusses the chronological evolution of the Fissure Swarm inside Krafla Caldera and the effect on the stratigraphic reconstruction made in 2019 to compare conceptual models of the south zone subareas: Hvíthólar, Vestursvæði, and Sandabotnaskarð. This paper derived from the MSc Thesis project 3D Conceptual Model Hvíthólar Sub-area, Krafla carried out in 2019. This paper complements other publications such as (Castillo et al,2020).
