| A Collection of Icelandic Photographs -- a "virtual tour" around Iceland by Ed Jackson, with more than three hundred photographs of almost all regions of the island, taken between 1973 and 1985. Some of the photographs are used in Travels in 19th-Century Iceland to illustrate modern-day views of the scenery drawn and painted by the 19th-century travellers.
The Emigration from Iceland to North America -- an excellent resource for descendants of the many Icelanders who emigrated from their homeland in the nineteenth century. The website, designed and maintained by Hálfdan Helgason of Reykjavík, contains contemporary photographs. Antique Maps of Iceland contains all pre-1900 maps of Iceland that are in the collection of the National and University Library of Iceland, plus a great deal of information about the cartographers and other travellers. Jónas Hallgrímsson: Selected Poetry and Prose, edited and translated with notes and commentary by Dick Ringler of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This is a rich and detailed site about Jónas Hallgrímsson (1807-1845), "the best loved and most admired poet of modern Iceland." The entire site contains many illustrations, but visitors to Travels in 19th-Century Iceland will likely find The Jónas Tour to be of most interest. |
