geology book


It covers the geological history of Iceland and provides a very good insight into the processes that shaped the country. The book also contains a substantial contribution from well known geologist, Halldór Kjartansson who sadly died in 1995.

We've noticed that more and more participants in our tours are developing a greater interest in geology and this book is heartily recommended to them.

It's widely available in Icelandic bookshops or from the publishers Mál og Menning.
