In this book published in 1876 William Lord Watts (1850-1921) tells the story of his historic trek across Vatnajokull, the first such expedition ever undertaken. His travels also took him to the Askja volcano where an eruption was taking place at the time, on a visit to the sulfur mines in northern Iceland, and he later witnessed a further eruption in the hinterlands of Lake Myvatn. Such was Watts’s fascination with a land he described as '5,000 square miles of uninhabited country, a howling wilderness, nothing but volcanoes, ice, and snow' that this was his third visit - his previous travels of 1871 and 1874 having been described in Snioland: or, Iceland, Its Jokulls and Fjalls (1875). The book includes two black and white illustrations and two maps. 3
