About

This blog is about the islands of the North Atlantic. Places like the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Newfoundland where the rugged and sometimes desolate landscape shapes the history and lives of the people who live there. I got inspired when I visited these places, but as I mention in my first post, there’s a deeper attraction that’s led to continued discovery and fascination. There’s something profound about these places for me, an effect that is simultaneous exciting and calming.
