Abstract(s)

The Juan Fernandez archipelago lies in the southeastern sector of the Nazca Plate some 700 km west of the Chilean port of Valparaiso. It comprises the deeply dissected volcanic island of Robinson Crusoe (formerly Masatierra), its off-lying islet of Santa Clara and the younger shield volcano of Alexander Selkirk (formerly Masafuera) which lies 150 km to the west. The islands appear unrelated to any major structural features of the ocean floor and it is concluded that they are the products of isolated intra-plate volcanism. […].
