Learning Icelandic Through Mapping

with 2 Comments

Translating a website in another language is actually a very difficult task. Here are a few of the words I translated from the drop down menu for the land survey website. One I had these translated I chose staðfræðikort which translated into topography map however once here there are still a multitude of options, so I have been opening up each one to see where it is and the ones in Austerland (the Eastern Region, where Skalanes is located), are on the Lagarfljot river. I am now continuing to plow through the maps here and will switch keyword if need be.

    Here are some translations: Fornkort: an old map, herforingjaraðskort: officer’s map (mainly old Danish maps) http://islandskort.is/is/category/list/29, jarðskjálfakort: earthquake map:)
