To measure erythemogenic UV radiation in Iceland. Material and methods: Erythemogenic UV radiation was measured during the period from April through September 2010. We used a UV sensor that measures the Erythema Action Spectrum as has been defined by the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) as the standard representation of the average skin response to UVB and UVA. The sensor was located in Skorradalur, Iceland (64,533287N; -21,526338W; altitude 63 m.). The location of the sensor was carefully chosen to ensure that it was never in the shade.
