Map of the British Isles showing the location of extinct volcanoes (unfilled black circle markers). and bedrock fault lines (orange lines). The coastline is shown in thick black, with a slight dropshadow. The map is coloured in such that the volcanoes are a bright orange/yellow, and the colour moves to a darker purple with distance from a volcano. The same colourscheme is applied at sea, however with reduced opacity. The title text reads: 'The ~~British~~ Volcanic Isles' with subheading: 'Volcanic activity across the British Isles peaked during the Paleozoic (539 to 252 Ma*), with the last significant eruptions occuring during the Paleogene (66 to 43 Ma). *million years ago'.
