    "We raised our fists and cheered. . . . With the sagas in our heads, with Iceland at its wildest beneath our boots, it would not have been impossible to see Bárdr clumping along the summit ridge, prodding the glacier with his staff, ready to show us the way down."

    Iceland is a pictorial classic on one of the last "undiscovered" countries in Europe--reissued for the first time in paperback.

Experts are concerned that such an event could bring global travel disruptions and flooding from melted glaciers. Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips reports from southern Iceland.
