Bathing outside might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Iceland. Yet, it’s one of the country’s most enjoyable traditions. Regardless of the weather, geothermally heated pools and warm springs mean it is always a good time to take a plunge.
Swimmer, author and illustrator Rán Flygenring spent a summer travelling across Iceland, dipping into every pool, lagoon and natural puddle she could find – sketchbook in hand. This quirky little guide offers insights into Icelandic bathing culture: how to scrub and shower; when to bring a towel (and when not to); what to wear; and where to go. Through her mosaic of quick sketches, Rán gives us a sneak peek into what it feels like, sketching and bathing.
Horses
4.590 kr.The Icelandic horse has endured much during its millennium of service to a hard people in a cold land. Blazing trails through lava fields, shuttling between far-flung fjords, starved, drowned and even brought back from the dead. Here we see Iceland’s hardiest helper from every angle, the same beast who first set hoof on Iceland’s shores in the 9th century, through stories free from all the hype and schmaltz of the tourist brochures.
With their first book, Birds, Hjörleifur Hjartarson and Rán Flygenring dazzled us with Iceland’s fascinating feathered friends. Now they’re back in the saddle with their unique take on Iceland’s iconic equine.
