museum and library staff, particularly Ásta at Reykjavík; Þorbjörg at Þorbergssetur; Anna at Útivist; Kári at Heimaey library; and everyone at Hafnarfjörður library. It’s always fun catching up with Jón Trausti Sigurðarson at Grapevine. Thanks too to Guðni; Alice Olivia Clarke for insights on Reykjanes; Kristín and sister at Höfn for trusting me with their home; Lonely Planet readers (especially Sara Meese); and Kurt Leuthold and family for sheer gallantry. Brandon, it was a genuine pleasure to work with someone with such a passion for Iceland (and Arctic foxes!). Thanks to Lonely Planet’s Jo Potts for her calm, kind presence throughout; and the coordinating team who kept the show on the road: Imogen Bannister, Herman So, Rachel Imeson, Amanda Sierp and Susan Paterson, and editors Averil and Susie.

BRANDON PRESSER

My research trip was unforgettable – a million takk fyrirs are owed. First, thanks to Jo Potts for commissioning the title and for your support throughout the project. To Fran – it was such a treat working with you! Thanks also to Susan, Susie and the rest of Lonely Planet’s all-star production team. In Iceland, thanks to Kjartan for always checking in; Ásta for your pearls of wisdom; Siggy and Ester for letting me tag along in Hornstrandir; Tanja and Astrid for your hospitality; Manny for your positive energy; Nanna for being Nanna; Vilborg for being too damn good at your job; and everyone at Air Iceland and Icelandair for sharing your passion for Iceland and its sagas with me. Additional thanks to Jón Páll, Sirrý, Arngrimur Vidar, Cosima, Þorgeir, Valdimar, Cathy, and Ásbjörn. Thanks also to Justine and Abby for pointing out my unhealthy skyr obsession. To Eli for once again opening your Rolodex of quirky contacts. Finally, to my chorus of local voices (Sigurstreinn, Edda, Erlendur, James, Jón, Friðrik & Adda, and Aggi), thank you for sharing your experiences – this new edition is much richer as a result.
