Reisverhaal - Reisgids The Viking Isles | Paul Murton

Ook uitermate goed te gebruiken als reisgids door de hoeveelheid informatie die hij geeft.   Paul Murton has long had a love of the Viking north - the island groups of Orkney and Shetland and the old counties of Caithness and Sutherland - which, for centuries, were part of the Nordic world as depicted in the great classic the Orkneyinga Saga.

Reisverhaal The Robber of Memories | Michael Jacobs
Reisverhaal The Robber of Memories | Michael Jacobs
A gripping journey up the River Magdalena into the centre of Colombia, and a deeply personal meditation on memory and loss in the footsteps of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Running through the heart of Colombia is a river emblematic of the fascination and tragedy of South America, the Magdalena. Considered by some to be the most dangerous place in the world, travellers along the river - for centuries the only route into the vast South American interior - were at the mercy of tropical disease, dangerous animals and precarious barges. A third of the victims of 'la violencia', Colombia's period of civil conflict which began in the 1950s, ended up in its waters. Townships alongside it have experienced some of the worst massacres in South American history. In 2011, Michael Jacobs travelled its whole length to the river's source high up in Andean moorlands controlled by guerrillas. In spellbinding prose, he charts the dangers he negotiated - including a terrifying three day encounter with the FAR…

Reisfotografiegids Photographing Iceland Volume 2 - The Highlands and the Interior | Fotovue
Reisfotografiegids Photographing Iceland Volume 2 - The Highlands and the Interior | Fotovue
Only accessible for a few months a year, this beautiful travel and photo-location guidebook covers Iceland's enigmatic highlands, one of the most desolate yet beautiful locations on Earth. The interaction of wind, water and fire has sculpted a unique upland environment defined by inhospitable landscapes, extreme weather and rugged topography. A place of beauty, mystery and drama, much of the region's photographic appeal lies in this epitome of the Icelandic archetype, with no permanent habitation, a preference for unmetalled roads and very little infrastructure.   A trip to this area of genuine wilderness therefore requires careful consideration and planning to ensure a safe and productive visit. The long and often difficult driving approaches make many of the locations in the highlands unsuitable for hit and run tourism.   FEATURING SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS The Kjoelur RouteF35 - Kerlingarfjoell MountainsF35 - Hveravellir Hot Springs F208 & F225 - Fjallabaksleid NyrdriF225 - Raudfoss Water…
