Abstract
OUR knowledge of the interior of Iceland is of quite recent date and still in part very incomplete, even to the point that there are districts which may be said to be utterly unknown to science. This applies both to topography and to geographical and geological conditions. The reason is that it is very difficult to push into the highlands of the interior, because different difficulties, each of which requires to be met by a special technique on the part of the traveller, combine to present obstacles to his passage as well as to his closer scientific investigation of the country.
