About This Book
A travel narrative recounts extended horseback journeys across Iceland, combining travelogue, natural history, and cultural observation. The author describes dramatic landscapes—glaciers, volcanoes, geysers, waterfalls, lakes and rifts—while tracing historical and saga-related sites. Regional customs, folk traditions, and the lives of rural inhabitants are observed alongside practical guidance on routes, transport, and seasonal conditions. Photographic illustrations and a map supplement descriptive chapters that treat distinct districts and notable landmarks, and the volume closes with notes, corrections, and reference material for further study.
