Hydrography (HY) Iceland is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of the ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

ELF Geographical Names (GN) Iceland is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of the ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

ELF Transport Networks (TN) Iceland is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of the ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview. The transport layer contains both line and polygons. The linelayer shows the transport network but the polygon layer contains the airports. Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

Þann 16. mars 2011 gáfu Landmælingar Íslands út í fyrsta sinn sameiginlegt hæðarkerfi fyrir Ísland. Kerfið er kallað Landshæðarkerfi Íslands og er viðmiðunin ISH2004. Tilkoma sameiginlegs hæðarkerfis markaði stór tímamót í sögu landmælinga á Íslandi. Á sama hátt og viðmiðunin ISN93 skapaði grundvöll fyrir alla til að vinna í sama hnitakerfi mun ISH2004 skapa grundvöll fyrir alla til að vinna í sama hæðarkerfi. Eitt samræmt hæðarkerfi er mikilvægt fyrir ýmsar framkvæmdir s.s. vegagerð og jarðgangnagerð og á ýmsum sviðum umhverfisvöktunar, skipulags og áætlanagerðar. Auk þess munu gögnin nýtast við rannsóknir á jarðskorpuhreyfingum eða breytingum á yfirborði sjávar. Mælingar á Landshæðarkerfinu eru standa ennþá yfir og frá fyrstu útgáfu þess árið 2011 hafa bæst við eftirfarandi línur hallamælilínur. • Flókalundur-Bolungavík • Reykjavík-Keflavík • Endurmæling á Suðurlandi vegna jarðskjálftans 2008 • Hellisheiði • Reykjanesbraut-Grindavík • Þjóðvegur 1-Akranes • Kjölur Niðurstöður nýrra mælinga verður bætt inn í þetta gagnasett um leið og þær liggja fyrir.

Ræktunarsvæði er afmarkað svæði sjávar nægjanlega stórt til að rúma þann ræktunarbúnað sem notaður er á viðkomandi svæði. Yfirleitt er um að ræða línur sem strekktar eru á milli flot bauja eða sérstaka ræktunarfleka með lóðréttar ræktunarlínur fáeina metra niður undir yfirborð sjávar . Svæðið er merkt með löglegum sjómerkjum þannig að sjófarendur eiga að geta varast þau, enda einnig merkt inn sjókort Landhelgisgæslunnar. Einungis er ræktuð Bláskel (Kræklingur).

Seamounts and knolls are ‘undersea mountains’, the former rising more than 1000 m from the seafloor. These features provide important habitats for aquatic predators, demersal deep-sea fish and benthic invertebrates. However most seamounts have not been surveyed and their numbers and locations are not well known. Previous efforts to locate and quantify seamounts have used relatively coarse bathymetry grids. Here we use global bathymetric data at 30 arc-second resolution to identify seamounts and knolls. We identify 33,452 seamounts and 138,412 knolls, representing the largest global set of identified seamounts and knolls to date. We compare estimated seamount numbers, locations, and depths with validation sets of seamount data from New Zealand and Azores. This comparison indicates the method we apply finds 94% of seamounts, but may overestimate seamount numbers along ridges and in areas where faulting and seafloor spreading creates highly complex topography. The seamounts and knolls identified herein are significantly geographically biased towards areas surveyed with shipbased soundings. As only 6.5% of the ocean floor has been surveyed with soundings it is likely that new seamounts will be uncovered as surveying improves. Seamount habitats constitute approximately 4.7% of the ocean floor, whilst knolls cover 16.3%. Regional distribution of these features is examined, and we find a disproportionate number of productive knolls, with a summit depth of o1.5 km, located in the Southern Ocean. Less than 2% of seamounts are within marine protected areas and the majority of these are located within exclusive economic zones with few on the High Seas. The database of seamounts and knolls resulting from this study will be a useful resource for researchers and conservation planners.
