Description:  The Pollen dataset is a collection of pollen data for sites in Iceland covering the Landnám period, as well as the raw pollen data for relevant taxa.  Any site containing some pre- and post-Landnám vegetation history is included.  Fossil pollen data gives an insight into the past vegetation.
