Línurnar sýna friðunarsvæði, þar sem eldi laxfiska (fam. salmonidae) í sjókvíum er óheimilt skv. auglýsingu nr. 460/2004.

Gögnin sýna hvar bráðamóttökur, læknavaktir og heilsugæslustöðvar eru staðsettar á landinu. Um er að ræða samstarfsverkefni Embættis landlæknis og heilsugæslunnar á höfuðborgarsvæðinu.

Eldissvæði er svæði sem úthlutað er rekstarleyfishafa. Rekstrarleyfishafi hefur þá heimild til að hafa eldisbúnað til að ala fisk innan þess svæðis skv. skilyrðum rekstrarleyfisins.

The high resolution forest product consists of three types of (status) products and additional change products. The status products are available for the 2012 and 2015 reference years: 1. Tree cover density providing level of tree cover density in a range from 0-100% 2. Dominant leaf type providing information on the dominant leaf type: broadleaved or coniferous 3. A Forest type product. The forest type product allows to get as close as possible to the FAO forest definition. In its original (20m) resolution it consists of two products: 1) a dominant leaf type product that has a MMU of 0.5 ha, as well as a 30% tree cover density threshold applied, and 2) a support layer that maps, based on the dominant leaf type product, trees under agricultural use and in urban context (derived from CLC and high resolution imperviousness 2009 data). For the final 100m product trees under agricultural use and urban context from the support layer are removed. The high resolution forest change products comprise a simple tree cover density change product for 2012-2015 (% increase or decrease of real tree cover density changes). A verification of the Dominant Leaf Type layer was performed by the National Land Survey of Iceland during autumn of 2018 and the data and resulting report are made available on the NLSI websites.

Vatnajökull National Park was founded on June 7th 2008, although the act on Vatnajökull National Park was entered into force on May 1st 2007. It is the largest national park in Iceland by far, 14,967 km2. Vatnajökull National Park was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 5th 2019. The boundary of Vatnajökull National Park, after its latest expansion on September 22nd 2021. The boundary is drawn in accordance to regulation on Vatnajökull National Park, No 300/2020, with later amendments. Disclaimer: If there is a difference between the data and the regulation text, then the regulation text applies. The data also includes all previous boundaries of the national park as well as current boundaries of operating areas.

Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services. The Riparian Zones products will support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive. Land Cover/Land Use (LC/LU) classification is tailored to the needs of biodiversity monitoring in a tailored buffer zone along large and medium-sized European rivers (with Strahler levels 3-8 derived from EU-Hydro). LC/LU is extracted from VHR satellite data and other available data in a buffer zone of selected rivers. The classes follow the pre-defined nomenclature on the basis of MAES typology of ecosystems (Level 1 to Level 4) and Corine Land Cover, providing 80 distinct thematic classes with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha and a Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) of 10 m. The production of the Riparian Zones products was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

Í markalaginu eru ýmis mörk lands og eru þetta allt flákalög og þau sýna eftirfarandi: skiptingu landsins eftir sveitarfélögum, skiptingu landsins eftir umdæmi sýslumanna, lögregluumdæmi og skiptingu landsins í dómstóla í héraði.

Administrative Units (AU) 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

EN: Boundary of Icelandic River Basin Sub unit(s) as reported to WISE on 22.12.2018. A "Sub unit" is a defined area that includes one or more catchments. For international reporting purposes only one Sub unit is used (ID: IS100) which covers the same area as the Icelandic River Basin District. For national management and reporting purposes there are four Sub Units (ID's: IS101, IS102, IS103, IS104). For further description of dataset fields and field values see GML schema here: http://dd.eionet.europa.eu/schemas/WFD2016/GML_SubUnit_2016.xsd IS: Afmörkun íslenskra vatnasvæða miðað við skil inn í WISE upplýsingakerfið þann 22.12.2018. "Vatnasvæði" er landsvæði með einu eða fleiri vatnasviðum. Vegna skýrslugjafar til Evrópusambandsins er aðeins eitt vatnasvæði notað (ID:IS100) sem nær yfir sama svæði og Vatnaumdæmi Íslands. Vegna innlendrar stjórnunar og skýrslugjafar eru fjögur vatnasvæði notuð (IDs: IS101, IS102, IS103, IS104).
