Those who believe Iceland could be portrayed completely in black-and-white photographs are in for a surprise in this impressive, oversize (11.25x11.5") volume, which gently reminds us the Vikings only named it Iceland to keep others away and its natural beauty to themselves. Photographer Desgraupes images depict the land alive in lava in places and very still in open fields in others, marked in red earth and yellow, broken to bits by the force of ice, and worn smooth by its tread. The text supports the photographs in this elegant book, which is a tranlation of the French edition (2005: Editions de La Martiniere, Paris). Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
