Source and run-out distances of the OSSEP event. (a) OSSEP outcrops (in yellow), including the recently detected submarine ridge south of Muck, define the potential area affected and allow an estimate the minimum runout distance of the ‘OSSEP pyroclastic event’. The vent area on Skye is defined on isotopic, geochronological, and geological grounds (see text for details). (b) Panorama photograph of Eigg, Rum and southern Skye. The Sgùrr of Eigg and the inferred source of the OSSEP eruptives (Marsco) are marked on the photo. Viewpoint (Portnaluchaig) is marked with filled black circle in (a).
