The essential guidebook for anyone visiting the Interior & Highlands of Iceland.

More details and LOOK INSIDE preview pages below.

Only accessible for a few months a year, Iceland’s enigmatic highlands are one of the most desolate yet beautiful locations on Earth, where the interaction of wind, water and fire has sculpted a unique upland environment defined by inhospitable landscapes, extreme weather and rugged topography. A place of beauty, mystery and drama, much of the region’s photographic appeal lies in this epitome of the Icelandic archetype, with no permanent habitation, a preference for unmetalled roads and very little infrastructure.

A trip to this area of genuine wilderness therefore requires careful consideration and planning to ensure a safe and productive visit. The long and often difficult driving approaches make many of the locations in the highlands unsuitable for hit and run tourism.

The accompanying map (sold separately at £16.95) features a detailed topographic map of Iceland pinpointing all 150 locations and more beautiful places including facilities such as fuel (gas) stops, accommodation, restaurants, cafes, museums, off-licences (liquor stores) and lots more.
