Lowland glaciers are usually considered the best analogs for
formerly glaciated areas and as such, many Icelandic glaciers have
been intensively investigated with regard to process-orientated
sediment-landform interrelationships. The Myrdalsjokull ice cap
has, thus, served as an excellent "ice-age laboratory."
Furthermore, a substantial effort has been directed
towardunderstanding the interaction between volcanic activity and
glacier response, such as meltwater outbursts (jokulhlaups) and
sudden events of rapidly flowing glacier ice. The book reviews the
following themes related to Myrdalsjokull: glaciology, glacial and
quaternary geology, sedimentology, tephrochronology and eruption
history of Katla, and crustal movements. All authors are involved
in research about the subglacial Katla volcano and Myrdalsjokull.
Set along the cliffs between mountain and sea, Hermanus is one of the most popular holiday and travel destinations in South Africa. Initially it was the abundance of fish in Walker Bay, along which the village rapidly grew, that attracted holidaymakers. Today, the stars of the bay are undoubtedly the Southern Right Whales that migrate from Antarctica to mate and calve here during the winter months. But it is not only the wonders of the sea that draw thousands of visitors to this picturesque village and surrounds year after year. Mountains, fynbos, culture, arts, crafts, country markets, adventure sports, scenic walks, golf courses, nature reserves, shark-cage diving, historical landmarks, and the vineyards and world-class wines of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley are richly described and illustrated in this lavish volume. With chapters covering all aspects of the town’s diversity, the reader will learn more about all that is so generously on offer here, and also catch a rare glimpse of the heart that drives the town: the people and communities that have shaped this favoured destination. A self-published edition of Hermanus appeared in 2010. Now republished as a new title the book features entirely rewritten text and fresh photographs throughout, many commissioned especially for this edition.
