Iceland, Defrosted

This is the story of one Englishman`s obsession with a half-frozen, roughly duck-shaped island in the cold North Atlantic. `Iceland, Defrosted` is less about wars over cod, flight-halting volcanoes and globe-shattering financiers, and more about relaxing in natural hot pots, sharing barbeques in howling winter storms and eating waffles and rhubarb jam while watching playful Arctic foxes. Oh, and desperately, desperately searching for the elusive Northern Lights (which might not exist anyway). Loosely based on a circuitous route around Iceland, it concentrates on places, people and experiences, soundtracked by the coolest Icelandic musicians, all wrapped up in the warmest lopapeysa and jump-started with the strongest coffee. It is a story that`s almost a love letter, born from a
constant yearning for this special place and fuelled by a growing understanding and a desire to uncover the real Iceland.
