Iceland the Enchanted
The landscape of Iceland has never before
been described in the way Guðmundur Páll Ólafsson does in this book,
the most comprehensive work ever published in English on the treasures
of Icelandic nature. The first section is a survey of geological history
and Iceland's place in the history of the Earth: how the land rose from
the sea, how its landscapes came into being, are formed and destroyed.
Section Two covers seventy places from various parts of Iceland, describing
them for the layman, both from the viewpoint of the natural scientist
and in connection with Icelandic history and literature.
Illustrated with maps and diagrams, and numerous magnificent photographs
which capture the extraordinary variety and magic of the enchanted island
of Iceland. Over 400 colour photographs.
English translation (published 1995) of "Perlur í náttúru Íslands",
winner of the Icelandic Printing Industry Book Prize in 1990.
In English.
Author Guðmundur P. Ólafsson
Hardcover with 420 pages.
