Geological map of Iceland by Dr. TJiornddncn, who has bpent many years on tho work, gives much Information about one of the world's most wonderful won-derful Islands which few visitors ever ev-er see.

This Is hurled under Immense snow fields, but from time to time Its (Ires burst through the glittering blanket, and then such Hoods are pour-I pour-I ed from tho melting Ice that a great I stretch of country between thu volcano and the sen Ik Inundated and huge miiHses of Ice are carried out Into the ocean. It Is unsafe to cross tho territory lying between Katla and the sea, so suddenly come the Hoods. - |
