Written as a diary on the spot, Symington’s book follows a summer voyage from Leith to Thorshavn in the Faroes, the Westmann Islands and Reykjavik, a ride to the Geysers, and a passage along Iceland’s south coast with its ice-capped volcanoes to the fjords of the east. An appendix adds Icelandic history, eruptions and folk tales.
