Excerpt from Information Relating to Currents, Ice and Magnetism, With General Remarks on the Navigation of the Coast of Iceland
Those who have even a little knowledge of. The Icelandic fairways will understand that navigation there differs from that of other places. The compass is not the same reliable guide as elsewhere,, the great depths render the use of the lead in some places trouble some and useless, and where the load can be used the charts do not give the necessary information; the irregular and strong currents, the frequent fogs, the long nights, the lack of lights-these, in addition to the violent storms and ice-drift, give sufficient explanation of the special difficulties of navigation.
