	Islands of the North Atlantic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Islands of the North Atlantic" (IONA) was suggested by Sir John Biggs-Davison as a less contentious alternative to the term "British Isles" to refer to Britain and Ireland and the smaller associated islands.
		However its use has been mainly limited to this context: as of 2004 (January), the term Islands of the North Atlantic was not used in any official internet site of the British or Irish governments, apart from verbatim reports of Irish parliamentary debates discussing whether it might be used.
		One feature of this name is that the acronym IONA has the same spelling as the island of Iona which is off the coast of Scotland but with which Irish people have strong cultural associations.

	TEPHROCHRONOLOGY AND EARLY HOLOCENE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES ON THE FAROE ISLANDS, NORTH ATLANTIC
		The Faroe Islands are situated in a uniquely sensitive part of the North Atlantic Ocean for registering Late Quaternary climatic changes.
		In warmer periods, when generally strong, or northward-displaced, circulation occurs in the atmosphere and ocean, the Faroe Islands lie continually in the main arm of the North Atlantic Drift.
		One of the main aims of this research is to construct a complete Holocene tephrochronology for the Faroe Islands so that the marine record of climate development could be precisely compared with that from the terrestrial data.
