This portal provides access to a wide array of geospatial data related to Iceland's natural environment. Users can explore and download information categorized under broad themes like "JÖRÐ" (Earth) and "GRÓÐUR" (Vegetation). The "JÖRÐ" section includes detailed datasets on bedrock, minerals, superficial deposits, water bodies (rivers, lakes, glaciers, geothermal areas), volcanism, landforms, geological history, fossils, geological heritage conservation, and natural hazards such as avalanches and volcanic eruption risk.

The "GRÓÐUR" section offers data on various plant types including vascular plants, mosses, and green algae, as well as fungi and lichens. It also features information on ecosystems (Vistgerðir) across land, freshwater, and coastal areas, including their conservation value. Additionally, the portal provides data on older vegetation classifications, red lists, protected areas, and invasive plant species.

This resource serves as a central hub for environmental and geological data for Iceland, supporting research, conservation efforts, and public understanding of the country's unique natural heritage.
