Tabula Islandiae auctore Georgio Carolo Flandro

Title | Tabula Islandiae auctore Georgio Carolo Flandro |
Magnificent map of Iceland with sea monsters, a sailing ship, two wind roses, two cartouches and the volcano Hekla, one of the three most active on this island. The considerable eruptions of the volcano have repeatedly covered large parts of Iceland with volcanic ash and pumice (tephra). About ten percent of the tephra that has been emitted in Iceland in the past 1000 years comes from the Hekla, that is about five cubic kilometers. In addition, about eight cubic kilometers of lava were released during this time. | |
