Skaftafell National Park is one of Iceland's most precious gems. The 80 page softcover book includes a map of the park, description of hiking routes, tourist information and 95 photographs with detailed descriptions. The photographs portray the scenery, vegetation and wildlife in Skaftafell, Ingolfshofdi and Jokulsarlon.

From the introduction:
The establishment of national parks and protected areas is a fundamental premise of nature conservation, whereby biological diversity enjoys statutory protection. We have been given nature and natural resources on loan and it is our duty to preserve that heritage for our children. Access to untouched nature is a fundamental human right. Nature does not just possess a grand visual feast; it also has a mystique, the life force of existence. Without coexistence with the basic power of creation, people lose connection with themselves. The complexities of modern living take over a person’s consciousness and anxieties and fear, lack of purpose and loneliness encroach. In nature, on the other hand, tension, stress, and the speed of urban society recede. In the silence all senses are sharpened, waves of restlessness diminish and the conscious awareness becomes clear. Such a state of mind is invaluable as it creates an opportunity to sense the delicate life force that is everywhere around us. Although nature can certainly exist without human beings, humans cannot live without nature. This is why we must protect and respect it.
