abstract
 
Volcanological features indicate that Marion Island is active but has had very low eruptive rate during the last 10 000 years. Nearly all Holocene activity occurred along radial fractures. An elongated north-east trending rift zone of maximum activity can be delineated in the southwestern sector of the island. The radial fractures and rift zone will probably control future eruptions, which may be expected to be of either hawaiian, strombolian or phreatomagmatic type.
