In the summer of 1861 the German-born geologist, zoologist and
politician Carl Vogt (1817-95), Professor at Geneva, accompanied
the wealthy landowner Georg Berna on a privately financed voyage to
the Norwegian coast, the North Cape and Iceland. His role was to
explain the natural history of the places they visited; also in the
party was the artist Heinrich Hasselhorst, whose drawings
illustrate this account of their journey. Vogt's book, published in
1863, is a travel narrative rather than a scientific report. It
describes life on board the Joachim Hinrich, and his impressions of
places including Bergen, Tromso and Reykjavik, which he compares to
a 'white desert' without trees or bushes. Vogt praises the
hospitality, athletic physique and good looks of the Icelandic
people, but expresses surprise that the natural resources of the
island remain largely unexploited. The book includes appendices on
Norwegian geology and Icelandic volcanoes.
