South of Vatnajökull. From Núpsstaður to Suðursveit. The authors are Hjörleifur Guttormsson, naturalist, Snævarr Guðmundsson, natural geographer, and Oddur Sigurðsson, geologist.
As in previous yearbooks, readers will learn about the region through a geographical description, a discussion of geology and natural features, as well as a discussion of history, human life and the people who have been prominent there. It has been over thirty years since the area south of Vatnajökull was last covered in a yearbook, and much has changed in that time in this magnificent world of glaciers and volcanoes. There is also a detailed discussion of the establishment of Skaftajökull National Park, which later became part of Vatnajökull National Park, and hiking trails in Skaftafellsland are described. The book should prove to be a good travel companion for those who make their way through the area or want to get to know it better.
