We’ve been in touch with Nökkvi Elíasson about his book, Abandoned Farms of Iceland.

He’ll be the first person we meet up with and, weather permitting, he’ll take us out to a few of his favorite sites near Reykjavik. An added bonus is that getting started with a native Icelander on our first day will help us develop our plans for the second and third days.
