Summary: "Norðurfari; or, Rambles in Iceland" by Pliny Miles is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author's adventures as he journeys to Iceland, exploring its natural beauty, culture, and history, and provides a remarkable commentary on the people and landscapes he encounters. With a mix of personal reflection and historical insight, the narrative aims to depict the real Iceland, dispelling myths and misconceptions about the island. At the start of the narrative, Miles describes his voyage to Iceland aboard the schooner "Sölöven," detailing stops in Copenhagen and Elsinore before finally arriving in Reykjavik. He vividly recounts the ship's experiences, including challenges of the journey, interactions with fellow passengers, and a celebratory Fourth of July marked by cannon fire and spirited oration. The opening focuses on the excitement of travel, the camaraderie among passengers, and the author's first impressions of Iceland's unique geography and culture, setting the stage for deeper explorations to come.
