    Here is Iceland!

    Every spring, over fifty species of migratory birds come to Iceland and lay their eggs in the mild and bright Arctic summer. In the winter snow covers the ground and Northern Lights light up the sky. In Here is Iceland you can read all about this volcanic island: its birds and mammals, mountains and shores, hot springs and geysers, people and culture – through spring, summer, fall and winter.

    Here is Iceland! by Margrét Tryggvadóttir and Linda Ólafsdóttir was welcomed by Icelandic readers of all ages. The book was nominated for the Icelandic Literary Award and received the Women’s Literary Award, the Reykjavík City Literary Award for illustrations, and the award of the Association of Icelandic Graphic Designers.

    Here is Reykjavík!

    Did you know that Reykjavík used to be only a few houses on one street? And that once upon a time, people lived in army barracks where Hallgrímskirkja now stands?

    Here is Reykjavík! tells the story of Iceland’s capital city, from before the arrival of the first human beings until it became the lively and diverse city we know now. Through words and pictures, it describes society and culture, apartment buildings and road networks, skating rinks and sewers, beautiful views and outdoor areas, and all sorts of other things you will find in Reykjavík.

    Margrét Tryggvadóttir and Linda Ólafsdóttir gathered great praise for their book Here is Iceland! Now they turn the spotlight on Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. The result is a beautiful work of art that is full of interesting information for the entire family.
