Voyage to a volcano crater in Iceland and a near death
An explorer recalls visiting Mount ImSee-In in Iceland before a 1846 eruption. He climbs with a guide to a lava basin, narrowly resists a plunge into the fiery chasm, is saved by the guide, and later escapes as the region convulses. The account blends awe, peril, and a dramatic struggle for survival.
