In olden times there were in Kroksdalur and Yxnadalur a continuation of Bardardalur considerable woods up to 450 metres.

Hesselbo.) cur, however, at a height of about 500 metres, but, nowhere else along the south coast did I find birch coppices at that altitude. The forest of Nupsstadaskogur, south of Vatnajokull, reaches to an altitude of 400 metres, Bsejarstadaskogur in Orsefi to 320 metres, and coppices in Haukadalsheidi to 380 metres, but in the southern lowlands the limit for birch coppices usually occurs at a height of 200—300 metres; in some places at a slightly higher, in others at a slightly lower level. According to the Ordnance map the upper limits of the coppice-woods in South Iceland are as follows: Skaftafell in Orsefi 280 metres Jokulfell (Bcejarstadaskogur) 320 — Nupsstadaskogur 400 Thorsmork 320 —.
