The Iceland Set
Iceland enters the book through its south coast: black basalt at Reynisfjara, the glacier tongues of Vatnajökull and Skaftafell, ice on the beach below Jökulsárlón, and the aurora between them — green on most nights, red on the rare ones. This page gathers every piece of that in one place: two stories, the chapter, the frames, and five live pages.
Two stories from one winter
Fire & Ice is the whole winter. The Night It Broke is a single hour inside it — 27 February 2014 at Skaftafell, one substorm minute by minute, up to the red that burns at 250 kilometres.
The chapter
In the book, Iceland is section 03, part ii — Vatnajökull, Skaftafell, Grindavík — the spread the two stories grew out of, with a gallery of its own.
Is it out tonight, in Iceland?
Five live pages — the whole country, Reykjavík, Akureyri, and the two places the book actually stood, Vatnajökull and the Blue Lagoon. Each carries the Kp it needs, tonight's verdict from NOAA data, and twelve months of real cloud climatology for the best-month question.
The frames
Six of the Icelandic frames from the book's gallery; each opens at full size with its EXIF.
Plan your own
The 2014 expedition page lists every Icelandic frame by date. The trip planner turns "Iceland in February" into computed odds, and the calendar shows the dark, moonless weeks.
