This edition compiles Morris’s Journals of travel in Iceland, recorded during 1871 and 1873. It presents a window into wilder shores, snow-dusted mountains, and the daily life of a small party abroad, including camp life, encounters with locals, and the practicalities of traveling by pony and foot in a remote, changing landscape.

A detailed day‑by‑day account of journeys through lava fields, fjords, and high valleys, with close observations of place and people.
Personal reflections on travel, endurance, and the beauty and danger of Iceland’s terrain.
Vivid scenes of camps, inns, churches, and encounters with local guides, bonder, and priests.
Maps, notes, and illustrations that accompany the text for a richer sense of the routes and landscapes.

Ideal for readers of travel writing, 19th‑century exploration, and William Morris’s broader body of work.
