Iceland's volcanic highlands, ice caps and fjord-cut coasts in a detailed shaded-relief map.
Vatnajökull spreads across the south-east, with Langjökull, Hofsjökull and Mýrdalsjökull around the central highlands, the Miðhálendið, where lava fields and braided rivers cross the high plateau. The Westfjords in the north-west and the fjords of the east cut deep into the coast, and the green lowlands of the south and west run down to Reykjanes and Snæfellsnes.
The terrain is set on a pale, paper-toned ground and lightly labelled with the seas, regions and ice caps.
