Iceland sits atop two tectonic plates that are slowly pulling apart. It has over 130 volcanoes . In summer, the sun barely sets. In winter, it barely rises. And every Christmas Eve, the entire country stops to give each other books and spend the night reading. Meet Sigga — your Kid Explorers guide — a ten-year-old from Reykjavík who has grown up watching the Northern Lights from her bedroom window and still thinks they are the most extraordinary thing she has ever seen. In this adventure, Sigga takes young readers across the Land of Fire and Ice — through volcanic landscapes, ancient glaciers, geothermal pools, and Viking history — and into the daily life of a country unlike anywhere else on Earth. Young readers will explore Icelandic geology, culture, food, and traditions , learn Icelandic words and phrases, and discover why this small island nation consistently ranks among the happiest and most peaceful places on Earth. Includes explorer journal pages, an Icelandic recipe, Iceland by the numbers, amazing Iceland fun facts, and vivid full-color illustrations. For curious readers ages 7 to 10, homeschool world studies, and young explorers who love science, culture, and adventure. Discover the world one adventure at a time.
