Iceland is unique. It has thermal hot springs, fantastic wildlife, glaciers, whales, long fjords, fishing villages, a bustling capital and a vast, unspoiled interior. The people are highly educated, and more books per capita are published here than anywhere else in the world. Reykjavik, the capital, is home to half of the population. While it is the base for business, at nighttime its streets fill with a hip crowd who come to drink, party and dance till the wee hours. This book covers it all, and has color photos, maps and a thorough index.
