Figure 2 The evacuati<strong>on</strong> map of Súðavík in northwestern Iceland. The map shows an<br />
evacuati<strong>on</strong> z<strong>on</strong>e of level II (id# 5) that was affected by the catastrophic<br />
avalanche <strong>on</strong> 15 January 1995 which killed 14 pers<strong>on</strong>s (the l<strong>on</strong>gest outline from<br />
the avalanche path <strong>on</strong> the right side of the figure). A z<strong>on</strong>e of level III is intended<br />
for even more extreme events (id# 6). The new settlement after relocati<strong>on</strong> since<br />
1995 is in a z<strong>on</strong>e where no evacuati<strong>on</strong>s are foreseen (id# 4).<br />
