Abstract
Gene frequencies and parent-offspring migration data from 9 geographic subdivisions in Iceland are analyzed. Estimated values of Fsr show high genetic homogeneity. Genetic maps are studied and the results are interpreted in the light of social and historical patterns. Actual road distances between subdivisions provide a slightly better indication of geographic isolation by distance than do straight-line distances. A high correlation between genetic structure predicted by migration data and the structure estimated from gene frequencies is obtained.
