Chicxulub was too early? What about Iceland?

Could it be that Willy Ley was right after all?

In his 1969 book "Another Look at Atlantis," a collection of essays
from Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, he posits that Iceland,
which is itself about 65 million years old, may have been formed

on record, as far as I know, to suggest a meteorite impact could
have led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

It is a bit suspicious that Iceland also happens to sit on or near
the mid-Atlantic rift, but who knows...?
