Earthly... it can take up to a year to turn a guidebook around from delivery to publication. I think some advance information went out saying it was due in July, but the latest word I have is that it will be available in September.
Nearly ALL of Iceland is lava... or do you mean actual molten lava flows? If the latter, then you just have to hope there's an eruption while you're there, and that you can get close to it. The authorities always do their best to stop people getting too close. Mind you, the more recent flows are incredibly interesting, spread across vast areas and solidified in a range of curious forms. Alternatively... take the Hawaiian option!
Meanwhile... you can have a look at the cover of the guidebook... and as usual I'll make a copy the subject of a free draw at a later date. If anyone wants to guess the location of the cover shot, then give it your best shot.
Not a clue,... but that picture makes me want to go there. Only doubt is this year weather. So far it hasn't been very cheerful, so i am quite indecisive where to spend my summer month under the stars,.. erm in a tent.
I've been away for the past week... so I'm just chasing up through the threads.
That picture was quite literally a 'grab shot', when I turned round and saw those two people with all that mass of ice towering above them. I'd just packed up after wild camping round the corner, before the place started to get busy. It's actually a short stroll from one of the most popular roadside locations in Iceland, but it still gives the impression of being in the middle of nowhere.
