What reading level is Norurfari Or Rambles in Iceland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ground is seldom frozen for a month, and snow never falls deep, or lasts over a week at a time. The summer, neither here or in Iceland, is hot, though there are some warm days in July and August. While grain is never grown in Iceland, here they cultivate barley and oats, at a height of from two to six hundred feet above the level of the sea. Grass grows at an elevation of two thousand feet, but a little above that vegeta- tion ceases, and the land is a desert. Sometimes a violent wind occur...s, that will roll up the grassy turf like a side of sole leather ; and in this way the tops of some hills get entirely denuded, the turf being carried into the sea. Trees do not grow here ; these islands resembling, in that respect, Iceland, and the groups of Shetland and Orkney. Thunder here, as in Iceland, is heard in winter, but seldom in sum- mer. There are a few lakes in the islands ; Leinumvatn, in Stromoe, being one of the largest. It is in a somber, melancholy-looking valley, and resembles some of the small lakes in the Highlands of Scotland.
