Summary. Sixty‐eight palaeomagnetic field magnitude values have been determined from a sequence of Icelandic lavas, ranging from 2 to 6 Myr in age. The results indicate large and rapid changes in the palaeomagnetic dipole field and provide a mean value of the palaeomagnetic field magnitude in Iceland for this period.
