Sonic Iceland

I recently came upon a very interesting website (webbook?).  Sonic Iceland is a web site that is something of a virtual book.  Its was designed with the end goal of it becoming a print book at some point.  The site has chapters that follow two travelers on a journey through Iceland exploring the people, culture and music.  As you read through the site you can listen to Icelandic music and look at some really great photography.

Having visited Iceland on a few occasions myself, I am thankful that someone took the time to produce a work like this.  Iceland is one of the most enigmatic places I have ever been.  It is almost impossible to describe, even with my long winded accounts the place.

I have not read through the entire site, but I plan to very soon.  Check it out here.
