Primitive helium and neon isotopes in Terceira island (Azores archipelago)

We present the first neon data, as well as new helium data, on Terceira Island (Azores archipelago, Portugal). Clear 20Ne and 21Ne excesses compared to air are observed (20Ne/22Ne > 11.2) and moreover, the samples show a more primitive 21Ne/22Ne ratio than MORB, confirming that the Azores hotspot...
