Rough Guides are designed to be good to read and easy to use.

The colour section intoduces Iceland, suggesting where to go and what not to miss, followed by a full list of contents. Then comes basics, for pre-departure information and other practicalities.

The guide chapters cover the regions in depth, each starting with a highlights panel and a map to help plan your route.

The contexts section fills you in on history, wildlife and the sagas, and reviews the best books on the country. Language gives you enough Icelandic to get by.
