Fig. 1. The Volcanic zones of Iceland. The Reykja-
nes Volcanic Zone connects the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
with the volcanic zones across Iceland (Sigurðsson
1985). Mynd 1. Gosbelti á íslandi. Reykjanesgosbeltið
tengir Miðatlantshafshrygginn við megingosbeltin á
íslandi (Freysteinn Sigurðsson 1985).

Fig. 2. Groundwater supply from
the Reykjanes peninsula. About 60%
of the population of Iceland enjoy the
freshwater from the rich groundwater
reservoirs on the Reykjanes penin-
sula (Sigurðsson & Sigbjarnarson
1985). Mynd 2. Ferskvatnstaka á.
Reykjanesskaga. Um 60% íbúa'
landsins fá neyzluvatn sitt úr grunn-
vatni á Reykjanesskaga (Freysteinn
Sigurðsson & Guttormur Sigbjarnar-
son 1985).
