Iceland is isolated, removed, and independent. Alone in a cold sea, sparsely populated, its volcanic visage is harsh and unrelenting. Its relationships with its neighboring countries reflect the residents' independence and stoicism, maintaining distance and self-sufficiency. Discovering Iceland for itself, finding what's missing from the known story of Iceland, seeing the country via its one (mostly) drivable road is its own discovery. Volcanic and ever-changing landscapes, barren fields, inhospitable winters, sparse population; unanticipated landscapes are hidden in plain view.
