Book Description
Snæfellsjökull is one of Iceland’s most famous volcanoes. It is there that Jules Verne located the entrance to the centre of the earth; it is the abode of a medieval saga hero and the location of one of Halldór Laxness’s novels. Travellers, painters, poets, and film-makers have been drawn to it in equal measure – while at the same time and against all expectations, others seem unfazed: as famous as the mountain is on a national and international stage, local folklore and medieval historiography have amazingly little interest in it. Clearly, Snæfellsjökull is not the same to everyone. This volume presents a survey of the place of Snæfellsjökull in the Icelandic and European imagination. It adapts the paradigm of geocriticism, which shifts the focus of the scholarly investigation from the work of individual authors to the multitude of views that different authors, artists, and practitioners have on a single place. The results of the perambulation of Snæfellsjökull presented here show that both its cultural and literary history, as well as the paradigm of geocriticism, open up broad vistas that amply repay the effort necessary to tackle this mountain.

Book Description
Two agents disembarked somewhere at the latitudes 74-75N and disappeared in the cold white world. Nobody had ever heard about them from then. Twenty years later a team of best glaciologists of the country of Russia went to high latitudes of Arctic. They all were enthusiastic scientists under the leadership of talented young doctor of science, Vladimir Ustinov, looking with excitement for new discoveries on the largest in the Northern Hemisphere glacier of Greenland. They did it. The glacier was not cold; it was hot. The scientist had realized long time ago that the whole Greenland Ice Sheet was in fact one huge thousands of trillion tones glacier. However, the twisted minds of the others became curious about this phenomenon for the absolutely remote from the science reason. The great discovery was about to become a source of the greatest tragedy in the present world. The earth crust rift zones if stimulated provoked or rather evoked for activity could shift and move to plow everything on its way across North American continent. A resolute struggle with destructive forces set upon Arctic - in the abyssal of Greenland Sea and on the Hot Glacier

Book Description
The dream always started the same... Psychologist Meredith Morgan understands the how and why of dreams. She understands that dreams are how our subconscious mind tells us things we are too busy to notice. It was a nearly senseless dream... She understands that some see dreams as prophetic, as the future reaching back and giving us a clue as to what is to come. Some see dreams as open doors through which the past can claw its way into the present. Dreams are where time and space collapse. Meredith awoke... But dreams are dreams, and when you wake up, the people you meet in your dreams shouldn’t still be with you...
