Summary: "Across Iceland" by W. Bisiker is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book describes an adventurous journey across Central Iceland, detailing not only the geography and natural wonders encountered but also the experiences of a diverse group of travelers who are equally interested in exploration and scientific study. The narrative likely centers around a semi-scientific party that includes botanists, geologists, and a geographer, among others. The opening of the work sets the scene for this notable expedition, beginning with the preparations and the embarking of the party from Leith. As they navigate the foggy seas towards Iceland, the personalities within the group are introduced, each with unique skills and interests, underpinning a sense of camaraderie. The author describes their first encounters with nature, such as foggy nights at sea and observations of the Faroes, all while foreshadowing the challenges ahead in the uninhabited terrains of Iceland. The tone is both informative and engaging, hinting at a blend of adventure and scientific inquiry that will characterize their journey through the breathtaking yet treacherous landscapes of Iceland.
