Under the Glacierby Halldór Laxness (1970)

A young, unnamed emissary is dispatched by the Bishop of Iceland “to conduct the most important investigation at that world-famous mountain since the days of Jules Verne”, i.e. to investigate Kristinihald undir Jökli (the original title which literally translated means Christianity under the Glacier) and the strange going-ons in Snæffels glacier.
