My uncle opened it and said: "Here is one of the best maps of Iceland, that of Handersen, and I believe this will solve the worst of our difficulties." I bent over the map.
"You see this volcanic island," said the Professor; "observe that all the volcanoes are called jokuls, a word which means glacier in Icelandic, and under the high latitude of Iceland nearly all the active volcanoes discharge through beds of ice.

Hence this term of jokul is applied to all the eruptive mountains in Iceland." "Very good," said I; "but what of Sneffels ?" I was hoping that this question would be unanswerable; but I was mistaken.

My uncle replied: "Follow my finger along the west coast of Iceland.

Do you see Rejkiavik, the capital?
You do.

Well; ascend the innumerable fiords that indent those sea-beaten shores, and stop at the sixty-fifth degree of latitude.
