After my amazing 2 week road trip around the island, I've sought out books (and podcasts) on Iceland, including novels, translations of the Sagas, travelogues and then this one, a very pleasant and informative memoir that is focused on the natural history of one particular coastline in central-western Iceland. The author is American and has arranged to spend a summer in a very rustic shack with his wife and young child (in part to recover from the tragic recent death of his mother). There is a ton of information about the local bird life in the area, which pleases me, along with hikes up a volcano, fishing expedition, sea kayaking, etc, each of which create the opportunity for the author to naturalize about his surroundings -- foxes, geology, eagles, sea life. He has a lot of humility and gracefulness in his encountering this foreign land and makes for nice company as a narrator and guide.
