*Project's Main Objectives:

1) Explore the prospectivity of the undrilled stratigraphy of the off-rifted East-Greenland continental margin present at the Jan Mayen Ridge.
2) Generate new knowledge on the evolution of the Møre-Vøring-Jan Mayen margins and basin forming processes at volcanic rifted margins.
