Stable field, high standard full-vector data of 0.5–3.0 Ma rocks from Iceland.
45 paleodirectional results and 7 Matuyama field strength estimates.
VGP dispersion values 2–3° lower than previous results from Iceland.
Paleointensity results support a long-lived hemispheric asymmetry during Matuyama.
New 40Ar/39Ar results show that the Gilsá normal polarity event does not exist.
