Fotoboek Iceland | Amber Books
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 i…

Fotoboek Lost in Iceland | Mal og Menning
Fotoboek Lost in Iceland | Mal og Menning
Eén van IJsland's meest gerenomeerde fotografen heeft een schitterend fotoboek samengesteld van dit magische land. Mooie uitvoering, harde kaft. Stunning colour photographs of the barren beauty of the Icelandic landscape. The sounds evoked by Sigurgeir Sigurjonsson's photographs are the eternal sounds of nature - the sighing of the wind, the lapping of waves, the hissing of steam and the unchanging roar of a waterfall. In the elemental world of these pictures, man is largely absent. The brief initimate glimpses we are given of human life - a farmhouse kitchen, a man fishing, a family attending the lambing - only serve to underline the overwhelming emptiness of the Icelandic landscape. It is these very qualities of peace, quiet and solitude that many visitors are seeking when they come to iceland - one of the last places in Europe where you can lose yourself in a wilderness seemingly untouched by man. Lost in Iceland is an astounding book presenting pictures of superb quality. Iceland …
