Description

Abstracted surface geological map of features for use in articles on Katla, Hekla, Eldgjá, Torfajökull, Tindfjallajökull and Eyjafjallajökull. Will be used in geological map on many more articles such as Bárðarbunga, Trölladyngja, Holuhraun, Þjórsá Lava and 2014–2015 eruption of Bárðarbunga articles.

The data and its representation is original and is a composite based on more than one source or compilation. It has been checked where these exist against several mapping representations/abstractions including local terrain but without any original fieldwork.

Additional information The data has switching logic. It is no longer a pure json file. Json to be added is best debugged elsewhere. The map is complimentary to data files Wikipedia:Map data/Grímsvötn, Wikipedia:Map data/Askja, Wikipedia:Map data/Hofsjökull, Wikipedia:Map data/Öræfi volcanic belt, Wikipedia:Map data/Snæfellsnes volcanic belt and Wikipedia:Map data/Hengill, or intended data file Wikipedia:Map data/Vatnajökull which may abstract out glacial data. There is purple/violet shading for some lava fields that are only shown in specific maps. The following default shading scheme applies:   calderas, other   central volcanoes and   fissure swarms or   fissure swarms over green shading,   subglacial terrain above 1,100 m (3,600 ft),   seismically active areas.
