Náttúrufyrirbæri sem njóta sérstakrar verndar samkvæmt 61. gr. laga um náttúruvernd (60/2013). Birkiskógar eru undanskildir.
Náttúrufræðistofnun Íslands heldur skrá yfir náttúrufyrirbæri sem njóta sérstakrar verndar samkvæmt náttúruverndarlögum og birtir í kortasjá sem jafnframt er viðauki við náttúruminjaskrá. Þessi náttúrufyrirbæri eru: votlendi, stöðuvötn og tjarnir, sjávarfitjar og leirur, mikilvægir birkiskógar, eldvörp, eldhraun, gervigígar og hraunhellar frá nútíma, fossar, hverir og aðrar heitar uppsprettur. Þau eru öll,  birt í kortasjá NÍ fyrir utan birkiskóga sem Skógræktin sér um.

(The natural features of Article 61 'Special protection of ecological systems and geoheritage' in the Nature Conservation legislation (60/2013). Following natural features are under special protection: wetlands, lakes and waterfalls, salt marshes and mudflats, important birchwoods, volcanic craters, lava-fields, lava-caves and rootless vents formed after the last iceage, hot springs and other thermal sources including their biota and surfacial geothermal deposits. The data for important birchwoods are not available.)</gco:CharacterString>
