I guess you are getting an empty image because you have not told gdal
which field includes the height data. I was successful with
gdal_rasterize -a HAEDDYPIME -ts 5000 3000 -l is50v_haedarlinur_24122013

contains an img and a 1 gig ige file, but it looks like they're not
supported by gdal.
You are right that the .ige file is not supported, but take the .img and
you get the DEM data
