| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. Rhyolitic rocks in the Torfajokull geothermal area and geothermally altered ground in the Torfajokull and Reykjanes geothermal areas can also be delineated. The fallout pattern of tephra from the 1970 eruption from the volcano Hekla can be mapped where sufficient depth of deposition destroyed the vegetation. Standard NDPF 70mm negatives (3rd generation) were used to print enlargements of the volcanic islands of Surtsey and Heimaey. Sufficient resolution is maintained to directly update maps to the 1:100,000 scale. Low-sun angle imagery ( 10 deg) of Iceland has been particularly valuable in mapping new structural and volcanic features hidden beneath glacialic ice in Iceland's neovolcanic zone. ERTS-1 imagery has shown the marked differences in volcanic landforms in Iceland from a regional viewpoint. The regional distribution of crater rows, moberg ridges, table (moberg) mountains, calderas, central volcanoes, and shield volcanoes shows striking differences in volcanic geomorphology in different parts of Iceland's neovolcanic zone. |
