This work documents the author's adventurous journey through Iceland, focusing specifically on the Vatna Jökull glacier and the surrounding regions that had been relatively unexplored at the time. The narrative captures both the rugged landscapes and the challenges faced by the author and his companions, providing insights into Icelandic culture and the formidable natural environment. The opening of the book sets the stage for an expedition filled with both anticipation and skepticism from other people in the author's life. It begins with Watts arriving in Reykjavík for another journey across the Vatna Jökull and reflects on his past travels, noting reactions from countrymen who view such adventures as foolish. Introducing readers to his travel companions and preparations, he describes the conditions under which they set off, including a challenging ride over rough terrain and interactions with the local Icelanders. As he embarks on this latest endeavor, the narrative promises an exploration not just of the physical landscape but also of the emotional and cultural dimensions of Icelandic life, woven with personal musings and vivid descriptions of the natural world.
