AKREYR1. 145 an extra stir on our account, which was a pleasure we could have dispensed with. In the evening we paid a visit to the apothecary, whose house seemed to be the rendezvous of all the captains whose ships were lying in the harbour, and there we arranged to depart the next day. Here I may as well observe there are two ways from the north to the south of Iceland, the shortest being, however, the most difficult road, which lies across the Sprengisandr, and the longest, but easiest, across the Storisandr. Mr. Locke, with Herra Gubmundson and his sister, had resolved to go by the Storisandr to Reykjavik, and I wished to go by the Sprengisandr to the east, so that I might visit the Skaptar Jokull. Although I intended to have left early, it was night before we got away from Akreyri, for leave-taking always occupies an in- definite time in inverse proportion to the size of the place. Re-crossing Vablaheibi, we reached Ljosavatn (where I had left my baggage and baggage-horses) with the daylight, from whence we proceeded along the Skjalfandifljot to Storuvellir. The river Skjal- fandifljot runs down a broad fertile valley shut in by hills of basalt, which rise in some places as much as 1300 feet above the level of the river. From thence a broad stretch of grass-land, extending some 25 miles long, brought us to Storu- I.
