Travelers love Iceland for its otherworldly landscapes, and during a time when Americans can't visit, viewing these scenes in a way that most visitors will never see is the best kind of mental escape. This stunning coffee table book offers not only striking visuals, but an environmental and cultural message as well, following the conservation movement to preserve Iceland's rivers so when borders do open to us again, we can all find the nation as beautiful as we remember it.
