Product Description:
A pictorial classic on one of the last "undiscovered" countries is offered by David Roberts and Jon Krakauer, author of "Into Thin Air". While touring and photographing a landscape of remarkable variety, the authors survive numerous adventures and discover the myths and legends of Iceland's stirring history. Full color.

I bought this book because I like Jon Krakauer. I read every book he has written. But it is David Roberts' story telling and his exquisit taste and explanation of Iceland's culture that captured my heart and imagination. It is a very easy read, yet you want take your time and imagine that old land. The words are beautiful, but Jon's photographs are equally beautiful: they feed each other extremely well. Thank you guys!

Very sorry I ordered two of these books, one for myself, one as a gift for a sick friend. Very disappointed in two things: the writing and the photos. There are far better books on Iceland. Was expecting better quality of writing and photos. Perhaps Jon Krakuer should stick to writing (he did the photos). I thought the book would have had details of their trip, not stories of mythology.

A beautiful book combining stunning photography with an in-depth historical, literary, and cultural examination of Iceland. This book manages to be heavy on both text and photographs.
Recommended for those interested in Iceland, but it is not a travel guide-type book.
