Iceland’s landscape has been shaped by dramatic forces over 30 million years. Its formation and ongoing evolution offers a masterclass in geophysical processes.
Iceland: Tectonics, Volcanics, and Glacial Features, a book recently published by AGU, presents a comprehensive regional guide to the landscape of this unique island. We asked the author of the book some questions about why she finds Iceland such a special place to visit and study, and asked her to explain how the book will help both experienced and novice geologists navigate around the landscape.
