  • The Best of Iceland
    04_178416-ch01.qxp 5/29/08 8:59 AM Page 1 1 The Best of Iceland On each trip to Iceland, we are always struck by how often other travelers are—or intend to be—repeat visitors. Many come year after year, never exhausting Iceland’s endless variations of magnificent scenery and adventure. Returning travelers immedi- ately recognize the crisp, invigorating polar air, and what W. H. Auden called “the most magical light of anywhere on earth.” Iceland’s astonishing beauty often has an austere, primitive, or surreal cast that arouses reverence, wonderment, mystery, and awe. Lasting impressions could include a lone tuft of wildflowers amid a bleak desert moonscape or a fantastical promenade of icebergs calved into a lake from a magisterial glacier. The Icelandic people—freedom-loving, egalitarian, self-reliant, and worldly—are equally exceptional. They established a parliamentary democracy over a millennium ago, and today write, publish, purchase, and read more books per capita than any peo- ple on earth. Reykjavík, their capital, has become one of the world’s most fashionable urban hot spots. In November 2007, the U.N. named Iceland the world’s best coun- try to live in, based on life expectancy, education levels, medical care, income, and other criteria. 1 The Best Natural Wonders • Glymur: Iceland’s tallest waterfall is • Blue Lagoon: The central activity nimble and graceful: Streamlets at this spa—Iceland’s top tourist descend like ribbons of a maypole attraction—is bathing in a shallow, into a fathomless canyon mantled in opaque, blue-green lagoon amid a bird nests and lush mosses.

Frásagnir ferðalanga og landkönnuða sem sóttu landið heim á fyrri öldum eru merkar heimildir, og vitna jafnt um fordóma og fáfræði sem forvitni og aðdáun. Slíkar heimsóknir voru svo fáar að þær rötuðu í annála hér heima og ófá rit voru gefin út erlendis um upplifun og rannsóknir ferðlanganna, gjarnan prýdd ómetanlegum myndum. Íslenskir fræðimenn fóru svo smám saman að kanna landið sitt og skrifa um það, meðal annars í þeim tilgangi að ryðja úr vegi ýmsum ÞAÐ ER KOMINN GESTUR bábiljum í ritum útlendinganna. Skipulegar skemmtiferðir og lystireisur hingað til lands hófust þó ekki fyrr en seint á 19. öldinni, þegar skipakomum fjölgaði. Þá skapaðist grundvöllur fyrir ferðaþjónustu og fyrstu útibú erlendra ferðaskrifstofa voru opnuð hér á landi. Þar með hófst magnað ferli, þar sem sjálfsögð gestrisni við fáeina ferðamenn þróaðist í að verða stærsta atvinnugrein þjóðarinnar, og sér ekki fyrir endann á því ævintýri. Framfarir í sam- göngumálum gera það að verkum að Ísland er ekki lengur úr leið, auk þess sem Íslendingar ferðast nú mun meira um eigið land en áður var, og leita þá gjarnan á vit friðsemdarinnar fjarri mannabyggðum. Höfundar verksins, Helga Guðrún Johnson og Sigurveig Jónsdóttir, hafa unnið mikið við að skrá sögu atvinnulífsins. Í þessu verki hafa þær kapp- kostað að gera frumkvöðlum í ferðaþjónustu skil, og rekja þessa miklu sögu með frásögnum þeirra sem riðu á vaðið og stóðu fyrir nýbreytni.
