Large-scale ground deformation in Iceland is dominated by extensional plate-boundary deformation, where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge crosses the island, and by uplift due to glacial isostatic adjustment from thinning and retreat of glaciers. While this deformation is mostly steady over multiple years, it...
