Iceland Epic

Assouline's coffee table book "Iceland Epic" takes readers on an unforgettable journey through Iceland. In the book, readers discover through writer Erika Owen, known for his articles in Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveler and GQ, unmissable hot spots and attractions in the land of fire and ice.

Despite being known as the Land of Fire and Ice, Iceland and its people are very welcoming - dressed in cozy wool sweaters and shrouded in endless summer sunlight. With breathtaking landscapes, folkloric tales, numerous hot springs and contemporary Icelandic music, Iceland is ideally suited for the cultural foodie looking for adventure. The Golden Circle is a great place to start, a route that passes by Þingvellir National Park, the Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir Geothermal Area - just a taste of the many wonders scattered throughout the country. Whether it's a helicopter flight over glaciers or a stay in a glass-walled villa under the Northern Lights, a trip to Iceland is unforgettable.

In Reykjavík, Scandinavian design meets a vibrant creative scene in the form of leading restaurants like Dill and experimental music festivals like Airwaves, all under the towering silhouette of Hallgrímskirkja, the city's largest church. This land has shaped artists such as Björk and Ásmundur Sveinsson, whose avant-garde creations reflect the country's untamed beauty and otherworldly pulse. In the countryside, houses with grass roofs and steaming geothermal pools bear witness to a life in harmony with nature. Unlike previous titles in Assouline's Travel Series, the travel book "Iceland Epic" is a journey into a new world.
