From setting off a hotel fire alarm, to getting a luxurious
in-water spa massage, to going on a "traditional Icelandic ice
cream car ride," to interviewing Jon Gnarr, "the most interesting
mayor in the world," Pam experienced it all on a two-week summer
journey that took her all around the outer edge of Iceland. Armed
with a two-wheel drive car, a persnickety GPS, and a goal to
discover the heart and soul of the country, Pam broke out of the
boundaries of Iceland's popular Golden Circle to travel the full
Ring Road (the road that circles all the way around the country),
and beyond.
In "Pam on the Map: Iceland," Pam brings readers along on her trip
as she discusses all things Iceland, including the restrooms at
Keflavik airport, the Ring Road and travel infrastructure, the
treacherous gravel roads and Highway 939, the omnipresent
waterfalls, hot dogs and fermented shark, and the history and
culture of the country and its people. Pam stops to talk with
locals about their views and opinions on Iceland, tourism, writing,
the economy, soil erosion, and happiness.
Filled with wit and wanderlust, "Pam on the Map: Iceland" offers
one woman's perspective on traveling around this tiny island in the
far north Atlantic Ocean.
