Two perspective maps created by Sæmundur Magnússon Hólm in ~1785 showing Reykjavik Iceland around that time.
A series of Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 images of Öræfajökull volcano covering three weeks or so. The images show the formation of a new ice cauldron on the glacier covered surface within in the caldera. This suggests an increase in geothermal activity under the glacier that has not erupted since 1727. More info about this event here.
Some new additions to my growing map collection. These are Soviet Military maps for Iceland. There are two series in 1:500 000 and 1:200 000 with a lots of geographic names and features that I have not yet gotten that chance to translate. Most of them were created in the 1950s or early 1960s.
Map of Reykjavik, Iceland from 1903 made by the Danish General Staff Topographic Department (Generalstabens topografiske Afdeling). Street labels and other text in Icelandic.

Made this animated map with Carto. Shows two “message in a bottle” devices released just offshore Iceland and tracked for 1½ years. You can also view this map and play with the timeline on Carto version. The devices were designed by VERKÍS released just offshore Iceland. The devices were tracked near-real time during their voyages and covered on the very popular kids' science show "Ævar Vísindamaður" broadcasted and produced by The Icelandic National Broadcasting Service. Original Project Site here.
Made these two maps for the 15thWorld Scout Moot that is currently being held in Iceland. Both show the main campsite located on the southern shore of lake Úlfljóstsvatn. The first is a technical map for planning and logistic purposes. The second one is a printout version for the Moot participants. A simplified version of the printout was also used in a custom build app that participants can download.
Iceland captured by the Nasa MODIS instrument onboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites on 10th of July 2017 at 12:05, 12:20, 13:40 and 13:55 Local.
As GIS Coordinator I create a lot useful maps and graphics to aid co-workers. These are the Landsat paths and rows for Iceland for both WRS-1 and WRS-2.
Yet another map by Samuel Eggertsson (previous post here and here). This is the town of Ísafjörður (my hometown). Image scanned from a postcard so not very clear but there are lots of interesting design decisions from a cartographer’s viewpoint.

Another map by Samuel Eggertsson (1864-1949). This is Flatey island in Iceland. This edition of the map was published in 1945, but the island was surveyed by Eggertsson in 1906. This image was scanned from a postcard, hence the poor quality.
Some maps and infographics by Samuel Eggertsson (1864-1949), an Icelandic cartographer and calligrapher.
Icelandic Mountains (1913). Scale in meters on each side, volcanoes shown with lava spewing out of them. The peaks are lined from west to each so that the peak furthest to the left is the westernmost peak. Like many of Eggertsson work this graphic includes a poetic text (near bottom).
Settlement of Iceland (1923). This map shows Viking ships sailing from Norway and Scotland to Iceland during the Icelandic settlement from 847 to 930 AD. Each ship has the name of a known settler whom are mentioned in the Icelandic Sagas, including Ingolfur Arnarson and Skallagrímur.
Icelandic colors (1913). A cross-section of Icelandic bedrock and volcanoes with poetic texts.
Story Island (1945). An oblique map of Iceland surrounded with poetic text describing Icelandic nature in a very patriarchal style.
Routes of our forefathers (1913). This oblique shows known voyages taken by the Icelandic Viking settlers from northern Europe to Iceland. That map also includes the Erik’s the Red migration to Greenland and his continued journey to America.

A typical map that I get asked to create at the Icelandic Meteorology Office. Hofsjökull glacier in Iceland with different kinds of surveys done on the glacier. The map is set up as a 13 by 13 cm image that fits onto a standard report page.
Formation of the volcanic island Surtsey in block diagrams. Creating timeline at the bottom of each diagram is very thought out. Taken from the UNESCO Nomination File published in 2007. See Thráinsson, S., Baldursson, S., & Ingadóttir, A. (2007). Nomination of Surtsey for the Unesco World Heritage List. Icelandic Institute of Natural History for the Ministry for the Environment.
