So basicaly the soil is permafrost and the vegetation something similar to the other northern and southern tundras, right? Tire tracks and even footprints can stand for years, that's correct, and sometimes they spread into large erosion areas, but since few persons are willing to travel there anyway
483:
Actually the soil isn't permafrost in Iceland, the climate is much milder than in arctic Canada or Siberia and not cold enough to support that. I am no expert on why the conditions are as they are on the higlands and I have been trying to dig up a decent explanation for this online with little

It's fragile because is so little of it, the highlands are mostly just sandy deserts in which vegetation grows really slowly, if it is damaged by tire tracks they will often be visible for several years afterwards and may trigger wind erosion in the area.

How is the vegetation more sensitive than in other northern areas, like the north of Canada or Siberia, where persons can travel at will? --
669: 506: 491:
Part of it is simply the ratio of visitors (especially tourists) to land area. Canada is absolutely gigantic compared to Iceland. --
