"Rivers of hot water astonished us at first but now we've got used i to the Idea of swimming In water warmer than the air."

"Stores are well stocked with American and British goods, but American magazines, cigarettes and 'soda fountains are conspicuously absent." "Although northernmost Iceland scrapes the Arctic Circle and about an eighth of it is covered by icefields, the Island Is built up chiefly of volcanic rocks and the rivers of hot water are explained by numerous hot springs."
