A hotspot in the North Atlantic, Iceland is one of the world's most
unusual countries. It is Europe's second largest island but its
most sparsely populated country. Sitting astride the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge, linking the North Atlantic plate with the Eurasian plate, it
is closer to Greenland than Europe. It lies just south of the
Arctic Circle, but, warmed by Gulf Stream waters, has a temperate
climate. It has fiery volcanoes and freezing glaciers, striking
black sand beaches and hot geysers - the word geyser itself comes
from Icelandic. And a geologically young landmass, Iceland is still
taking shape: a volcanic eruption in 1963 caused the formation of
the new island of Surtsey. Iceland is a fascinating exploration of
this most beautiful island. From volcanoes and lava flows to
geysers and geothermal pools, from bird life to whale-watching,
from national parks, verdant valleys to inland tundra, and from how
waterfalls are used for hydro-electric power to Reykjavik's city
life, the book is packed with 200 spectacular colour photographs.
Presented in a landscape format and with captions explaining the
story behind each entry, Iceland is a stunning collection of images
celebrating the world's most curious island.
