We raised our fists and cheered. . . . With the sagas in our heads, with Iceland at its wildest beneath our boots, it would not have been impossible to see Brdr clumping along the summit ridge, prodding the glacier with his staff, ready to show us the way down.Iceland is a pictorial classic on one of the last undiscovered countries in Europereissued for the first time in paperback.Iceland is often thought to be covered by ice, but in fact it is gloriously green. Lush meadows, wildflower fields, and miles of rich tundra cover a landscape of remarkable variety: deep lakes, bubbling hot springs, tumbling waterfalls, snowcapped mountains. Its also a landscape amazingly alive with massive lava flows and enormous glaciers. The human story of Iceland goes back more than eleven thousand years, and its heritage is told here in a treasury of riveting sagas of reallife heroes and all manner of supernatural beings.Both the land and the people of one of Europes most gorgeous countries come to life in this colorful account of the authors adventures as they walk, climb, and photograph their way through Iceland and connect to the bonechilling sagas and the unfamiliar terrain. With breathtaking photographs from critically acclaimed writer and journalist Jon Krakauer, author of the international bestsellers Into Thin Air and Into the Wild, and a penetrating narrative from Outside contributing editor and travel writer David Roberts, Iceland splendidly captures the spirit of this enigmatic country.Circumnavigating Iceland in summer and winter, Krakauer and Roberts encounter tales of monks and Vikings, outlaws and adventurers, trolls and witches. While touring and photographing, they discover the myths and legends of Icelands stirring history. Numerous other featsincluding a hazardous winter climb to the summit of one of Icelands tallest mountainsround out a fascinating introduction to this unique and beautiful land.
