Iceland

– a portrait of its land and people –

“… The ensuing chapters present a survey of the various parts of the country in the form of a journey around the island. There are stops at historic and interesting places. the way people live and their surroundings are described and attention is also given to bird and plant life.
The wilderness and glaciers are visited, and the volcanic eruptions of the last decades are described: those of Hekla and Askja and the volcanic activity in the Krafla-caldera which began in 1975, and was accompanied by rifting events.”
