Why embark on a criss-crossing journey across Iceland in all directions, throughout all seasons, when the world is vast? The allure lies in the inner exile offered by this walk on the heights, where the landscape is transformed into a charcoal masterpiece by the first snowfall, and spring brings back a forgotten sweetness with the return of birds. Summer days stretch into endless nights, and rare encounters with extraordinary individuals ignite a range of emotions. The boreal steppes evoke a profound sense of space, freedom, and the omnipresence of natural forces that enable deeper breathing.
