Most tours run on forty seats and a microphone. Ours run on one host who knows which road to take when the clouds shift. You land carrying the whole year. By day three, your phone stays in your bag.

Þorrablót
The midwinter feast begins late in the month: smoked lamb, rye bread, and fermented shark for the brave.
Water
Forty-two places
The granite turns red for four hours in March.
A lake that appears to hang above the sea, and eighteen villages that agree not to mention it.
Four days by camel to the last dune before the stone desert begins.
The driest sky anyone has ever slept under, and the clearest.

Why this week
