This compact photography book explores the wonders of Iceland, including the bright-blue icebergs on black sand beaches, waterfalls cascading over basalt cliffs, and rhyolite hills and bubbling cauldrons on the floors of still-active volcanoes. Photographer Steve Alterman points his lens at Iceland’s stunning beauty, highlighting the broad diversity of the Icelandic landscape in all seasons. Images showcase:

• Sites around the capital city of Reykjavik, the country’s center of cultural and political activity.
• Stunning nature scenes defined by the activity of approximately 130 volcanoes and the approximately 10,000 waterfalls dotting the landscape.
• Famous geological features along Ring Road, including Jökulsárlón, the iceberg lagoon, and Fellsfjara, the black sand beach.
• Spectacular scenic locations of the Highlands, including the area around Landmannalaugar with its multicolored rhyolite mountains.
• Charming human contributions to the scenery, including the Hofskirkja turf church, the black church at Budir, and several lighthouses.

Beautifully photographed and perfectly sized, this compact keepsake shows Iceland to be an intricate tapestry of ever-changing shapes and colors—a place that truly soaks into the souls of its visitors.
