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
467:
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.

It may be your browser, but normally on
Knowledge links that direct you to articles that don't exist are maroon. At least as of 2009, none of the links are maroon, but it is possible that these articles didn't exist when you asked this

Also, take into account how young the soil in
Iceland is geologically. Because the land is new, it has not had as much time to form thick topsoil, like has happened in Canada and the other places mentioned. —

there seems to be little concern about those effects in most places, since they tend to be limited... Would the effects be more severe in
Iceland or is it due to a very ecologically-aware population? --

How is the vegetation more sensitive than in other northern areas, like the north of Canada or
Siberia, where persons can travel at will? --

Part of it is simply the ratio of visitors (especially tourists) to land area. Canada is absolutely gigantic compared to
Iceland. --
