Reviews
"Iceland Above & Below is first and foremost simply a beautiful book. This large coffee table volume represents many years and many trips to Iceland by Swedish photographer Hans Strand. It is a book of images with very little technical information about each one. Beautifully printed with a wrap-around color cover in a hardbound binding, this is a volume that screams pick me up and look at me when it is resting on the table." —The Luminous Landscape
