Description
Ingrid still remembers the night the sky turned green. She had driven out from Reykjavík with a thermos of coffee and very low expectations, parked by a black-sand beach and waited, shivering, for two hours. Then, suddenly, the aurora unfurled overhead like silk in the wind, rippling green and violet over the glacier. She lay on the bonnet of the car until her toes went numb, and she has been planning her return ever since, along with the geysers, the waterfalls and the hot springs she did not have time for.
This suitcase is packed with that kind of wonder. Its sides are painted with a picturesque scene that brings Iceland’s dramatic landscape to mind, and a removable Icelandic flag stands proudly on top, red, white and blue. It is a fine souvenir for travellers, for anyone with Icelandic or Nordic roots, and for dreamers who have the land of fire and ice firmly on their bucket list. Displayed on a desk or a travel shelf, it is a small invitation to set off again.
