In the North Atlantic Ocean is a stretch of water notorious for its fury, a cold expanse separating the Old World from the New. And right there, just south of the Arctic Circle, sits a massive anomaly: a landmass that looks like its out of place, because it is! This is Iceland, and by all conventional rules of geography, it shouldn't be there. And more than that… its hiding a geography that nobody would ever expect in such a place: a desert.
