This lovely photo book takes you to another world. It is simply magic. Background information on the photos is well done, brief, and discreetly placed at the end. Especially if you have visited Iceland, you will love this book.

This book has most extra ordinary photos and does capture the stark beauty of this country of only 260,000 people. Everything in Iceland is very expensive and so is this book. There is now a line of clothes including jackets, t-shirts, and hats with LOST IN ICELAND. As I write this I sit on a Research Vessel in Reyjavik in June and the sun only sets for 3 hours. Dinner was over 50 dollars a person. If you are interested in Iceland and its beauty buy this book and then save 5 thousand a person, and visit!

The book has a lot of really sweet landscape photography in it. I've been to Iceland once, and I will tell you: there is practically no way that you'll be able to take as many really good pictures, and in as many different very inaccessible places, as the photographer did here. The text complements the pictures really well also. The photos and text are both by Icelanders and it sort of shows - their connection to the landscapes of their country shows through. A really cool book. I almost backed away at the price, but I am glad that I didn't. It's one of the travel-photography coffee-table books I look through the most often, and I have a good five or six dozen of them in my collection.
