Journey

A Girl’s Ride in Iceland

by Mrs. Alec-Tweedie

Ethel Alec-Tweedie and her companions ride across Iceland in the late nineteenth century, facing rough seas, difficult roads and changeable weather. Her account follows a route far from the destinations most tourists then chose. It brings the map’s empty spaces down to the scale of a horse and a road.
