Mesmerizing Iceland Map Puts a Volcano in Your Pocket Iceland’s interesting topography can be seen beautifully on this map made up of elevation contours, or isolines. The country’s name brings bright white ice and cold blues to mind, but I think the brilliant reds in this map (the deep reds are the lowest elevations, the bright yellows are highest) better represent the intensely volcanic nature of Iceland. I fell in love with this map the first time I saw it — it was on a list of awesome maps the guys at CartoDB sent me to show the great stuff their platform can do. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/09/iceland-map/ Angie
