At Leve På en Vulkan
Thorarinsson, S.: At leve på en vulkan. Geografisk Tidsskrift 76: 1–13. København, juni 1. 1977. Disasters during Icelands history caused by the four damaging factors of volcanic eruption, tephra, lava, gases and jökulhlaups are described. It is claimed that in spite of the severe threat, the volcanic character of Iceland favours the life of man
Xiii. Tephrochronology and Medieval Iceland
The Surtsey eruption and related scientific work
The course of events of the volcanic activity in Surtsey and the adjacent area can be divided into seven main phases: Submarine phase I This phase probably started about 6 November 1963, in a fissure, 130 m deep, running N 35° E to S 35° W, in lat 63° 18′ 22′′ N, long 20° 36′ 5′′ W, 3 nautical miles west-south-west of Geirfuglasker, the southernmost of the Vestmannaeyjar (Fig. 1) The seismograph at Kirkjubæjarklaustur registered weak earthquakes …
Population Changes in Iceland
T HE settlement of Iceland was in many ways a remarkable achievement. During the period A.D. 870-930 many thousands of people left their homesteads in Scandinavia and the British Isles and sailed in open boats to a country far out in a stormy sea. Until then the expansion of the Nordic peoples had been mainly toward countries richer and climatically more favored than their homelands; the Drang nach Siiden of the Germans, for example, may have had…
Iceland: Impressions of a Heroic Landscape
Der Öræfajökull und die Landschaft Öræfi. Die Entwicklung einer isländischen Siedlung im Kampf gegen die Naturgewalten
The Thousand Years Struggle against Ice and Fire
The Baffin Island Expedition, 1950: Discussion
Laxárgljúfur and Laxárhraun: A Tephrochronological Study
Volcano-Glaciological Investigations in Iceland During the Last Decade
The Grímsvötn area in the Western part of Vatnajökull and the Katla area in the south-eastern part of Mýrdalsjökull in southern Iceland are of special interest because of active subglacial vulcanism. In recent times eruptions have occured periodically in Grímsvötn at intervals of about ten years, the latest taking place in 1922 and 1934. In Mýrdalsjökull, Katla has etupted twice every century since 1580, the latest eruption occurring in 1918. Sim…
