Extract

When in 1897 Sir Archibald Geikie published his important monograph on the Ancient Volcanoes of Great Britain he devoted chapter xl to a description of Iceland—so largely does our North Atlantic neighbour bulk in the eves of British vulcanologists. Geikie drew the greater part of his informatiom from Thoroddsen's writings, supplemented by those of Helland, Tempest Anderson, and Johnston-Lavis. His theme throughout was the conspicuous and abundant evidence afforded of fissure eruptions.
