International Quaternary Map of Europe 1:2,500,000 (IQE2500) - Sheet 01 Reykjavik

The idea to represent the main features of the European Quaternary was first discussed at the Second Congress of the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) held in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) in 1932. Compiled by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) in cooperation with the INQUA, the International Quaternary Map of Europe 1 : 2.500.000 was finished in 1995. It is jointly published by the BGR and UNESCO. Several Quaternary features such as end moraines, ground moraine hillocks, kames, drumlins, eskers and ice border lines are represented on the map. Additionally, the map shows the directions of ice movements, limits of marine transgressions and tectonic faults. Important localities of Quaternary discovery relating to both geology and prehistory, bathymetric lines and recent deposits covering the sea floor are also indicated as well. The legend on each of the 14 map sheets is in German and, depending on the territories covered, in English, French or Russian. The general legend is placed on map sheet number 15.1932年，在列宁格勒（现圣彼得堡）举办的第二届国际第四纪研究联合会（INQUA）大会上，首次讨论了表征欧洲第四纪主要特征的构想。由德国地球科学与自然资源联邦研究所（BGR）与国际第四纪研究联合会（INQUA）合作编制的1:250万欧洲国际第四纪地图，于1995年完成，并由BGR与联合国教育、科学及文化组织（UNESCO）联合出版。该地图标注了多种第四纪地貌特征，包括终碛垅、底碛丘陵、冰砾阜、鼓丘、蛇形丘与冰界线；同时还展示了冰流运动方向、海侵范围与构造断层。此外，与地质及史前研究相关的重要第四纪发现点位、等深线以及覆盖海底的表层沉积物也均有标注。14幅单幅地图的图例均采用德语，根据其所覆盖的地域范围，辅以英语、法语或俄语。通用图例则置于第15号图幅中。
