Sir George Steuart Mackenzie (1780–1848) was a Scottish geologist and baronet who embarked on an expedition to Iceland in 1810. This account, first published in 1811, describes the volcanoes, geysers and other extraordinary geology Mackenzie encountered, and presents a charming and evocative picture of Icelandic life, culture and history.
