Based on a true story, the author humorously recounts the time his
grandfather got stranded with a friend on Surtsey, a brand new volcanic
island in Iceland. The adventurers face epic challenges like molten
lava, melted eyeglasses and scant supplies before finally getting
rescued. Graphic novel-like layouts and spirited text invite readers to
search for the one thing that's not actually true in this thrilling yet
light-hearted tale of adventure. Endnotes include information about
volcanoes, Icelandic culture and Norse mythology.
