‘The Land of Fire and Ice’ they call it, and for good reason. The journey from the airport took me along route 41. To my left the bitter North Atlantic Sea was battering the rocky coastline; to my right, a wide expanse of olive-green moss lay like a shawl ... Read more >

I got on a tiny tour bus in Reykjavík and waited for our guide, who was unapologetically late. ‘I know you paid to see a boring beach which name you can’t pronounce, so why don’t I take you to the place I grew up in?’ he said. The other people on the ... Read more >

I tuck my chin toward my chest, burrowing into my woollen scarf, and trying to retreat entirely into the refuge of my fur-lined hood. Pellets of hail, small and infinite, drum in repetitive waves against my Thinsulate sanctuary. Hunched over the pram ... Read more >
