''The Natural History of Iceland'' ((デンマーク語:Tilforladelige efterretninger om Island)) is a natural history of Iceland by Danish lawyer Niels Horrebow. It was first published in Danish in 1752 with an English translation in 1758. ==History of the work==
The book was intended to correct errors in past natural histories of Iceland, particularly the work of Hamburg mayor Johann Anderson, who had written about the island without ever actually visiting it. Anderson had relied entirely on accounts from German and Dutch sea captains,〔''(Notes and Queries: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc )''. Series 4, Volume 5. Oxford University Press, 1870. 186-7.〕 but Horrebow lived in Iceland for two years, studying the animals, plants, weather, and geological features. He also made note of the cultural practices of the Icelandic people. Horrebow's resulting work was published in Danish in 1752, then translated into German (1753), Dutch (1754), English (1758) and French (1764).〔Gunnar Karlsson. ''(The History of Iceland )''.
