Iceland
Iceland’s fire-and-ice identity becomes a sequence of opposites: warm ground and glaciers, midnight light and winter dark, compact horses and expansive landscapes.
Expecting ice and penguins, Cappy instead finds a colorful harbor city and ground warm enough to breathe steam. Volcanoes, geothermal streets, an immense glacier, nesting puffins, a uniquely smooth horse gait, bright summer nights, and dark winter skies reveal a country of compatible opposites. When an Arctic fox draws him away from town lights, his final detour opens beneath an aurora he could never have seen from indoors.
