Iceland would be a perfect place to explore for World Environment Day.
The focus for this year's UNEP World Environment Day is biodiversity.
This Emergence piece has an interview with the Icelandic author Andri Snær Magnason, who wrote a eulogy to the disappearing Ok glacier which has been blogged earlier in the year.
On Time and Water is his book exploring some of these issues. I have it on pre-order and it comes out in August.
Now he attempts to come to terms with the issues we all face in his new book On Time and Water. Magnason writes of the melting glaciers, the rising seas and acidity changes that haven't been seen for 50 million years. These are changes that will affect all life on earth.
Taking a path to climate science through ancient myths about sacred cows, stories of ancestors and relatives and interviews with the Dalai Lama, Magnason allows himself to be both personal and scientific. The result is an absorbing mixture of travel, history, science and philosophy.
