It provides an insight into the country’s geological structure & tectonic activity, with multilingual notes on the reverse explaining some of the features portrayed. The general geology is classified on this map by age rather than by type, through clearly distinguished colours.

Other details include anticlinal & synclinal axes, dips directions, faults & fractures, unconformities & monoclinic flexure zones. The basic topographic information shows glaciers, 100m contours, spot heights, built-up areas, rivers, lakes & a selection of landmarks, ie. churches, farms & power stations. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 1º & 30’ intervals respectively. The legend & explanatory notes are in English, Icelandic, German & French. ...
