Den følgende Morgen var Havet aldeles roligt. Taa- 

 gen laa fremdeles over Landet, saaat kun de lavere Dele 

 vare synlige, til en Hojde af 150 til 200 Meter. Foran 

 os laa det maleriske Fugleberg (Fig. 1), hvis bratte, mørke 

 Vægge mindede om Ystiklettur paa Yestmannaøerne. Ved 



The next morning the sea was quite calm, but a 

 thick fog. at the height of 500— (.inn feet, still liung over 

 the island. ouly the lower range of coast being aceordingly 

 visible. In front towered the -'Fugleberg." or fowling- 

 cliff (Fig. 1), which with its dark. precipitous rocks vividly

Siden af Fugleberget, længere mod Syd. laa en flad Sand- 

 strand, tæt bestrøet af Rækved. Her gik vi i Land uden 

 den ringeste Vanskelighed. Stranden bestod af surt Sand. 

 Din storste Del af Rækveden Ina paa en fra, Havbredden 

 noget tilbagetrukket Slags Terrasse, hvis horizontale Flade 

 tnncltes 5 til 6 Meter mer Hawts Xiveau. Den mindre 

 Del lua paa den foranliggende Skraaning mellem Terrassen 

 og Stranden. Derfor ser det i Frastand fra Soen ml. som 

 om Rækveden lua opstablet i regelmæssige Lag paa Stranden. 



"Fugleberget" viste sig at være - som det sees al' 

 Figur 1 — Østsiden af et Krater, hvis vestlige Del er 

 styrtet i Havet. Det er bygget af Lag af Tuf. fast Lava, 

 udkastede Masser af Slakker og Æske. Paa den sondre Side 

 al' Man Muss Bugtén hævede sig, mer Soen. et mindre 

 kegleformigt Krater (Krater Blytt), og indenfor dette, mer- 

 inere Øens Midte, et noget større at' samme Form (Krater 

 Danielssen), hvis Top nu ragede op i Taagen, men som 



reminded us of Ystiklettur on the Vestmanna Islands. 

 Stretching south of the Fugleberg, lav a flat sandy beach, 

 bestrewn with driftwood. Here \ve landed, without the 

 slightest difiiculty. The beach was of black sand. Most 

 of the driftwood lay on aterrace-like ledge. the level surface 

 of which extended from 15 to 20 feet above the sea; the- 

 remaining portion was scattered over the gentle slope between 

 the ledge and the beach. Tims. from the sea the driftwood 

 appears at some distance to be piled along the shore in 

 regular lavers. 



The ''Fugleberg - ' (see Fig. 1) was found to bé the 

 eastern side of a crater whose west part had toppled down 

 into the sea. It is built up of stratified tuff. compact 

 lava, discharged masses ofcinders, andasb.es. On the south 

 shore of Mary Muss Bay, in close proximity to the sea., 

 rose a smaller. conical-shaped crater (Blyttfs crater), and 

 farther inland, towards the middle of the island. another 

 of similar tonn. but somewbat larger (Danielssen's crater),
