Iceland is a universe of different sights in which myth and history merge with volcanoes and glaciers, waterfalls and geysers, tundra and cliff faces. This title transports readers to the country employing photographs that depict Ireland's landscape.
Iceland is an extraordinary land, a geological freak that brooks no comparison. It is a universe of immeasurable sights in which myth and history merge with volcanoes and glaciers, waterfalls and geysers, endless tundra and plunging cliff faces. It is an island that has been moulded into the most extraordinary forms by a nature in ceaseless struggle between creation and destruction, between extremes of primordial violence and calm reassurance.This welcome addition to "White Star Countries of the World" series transports readers to realms we could never experience without the benefit of these superb photographs. These shots depict the splendours of the country: the contrasting landscapes cast up an extraordinary range of colours and shades; the horizons stretch to infinity, the glaziers are immense, and the waterfalls so powerful they make the ground tremble.The geothermal phenomena that abound here send up a constant bubbling of multicoloured mud and the intermittent rumble of dense blasts of energy. The towering coasts are stacks of basalt teeming with millions of seabirds; the internal high plains form an endless, silent desert, disturbed only by the howling of the wind.
Countless fjords, geysers, glacial rivers, hot springs, and more - all of which comprise Iceland's singular landscape.
