“…Cultural landscapes reflect specific practices of sustainable land-use (UNESCO, 2015) and can be multifunctional (Rabbinge & Bindraban, 2012). Cultural roads and routes are characteristics of cultural landscapes (Brenna, Larsen, & Hvattum, 2011). Roads shape and reshape valuable and commonplace landscapes, enhancing and/or diminishing their qualities.…”

Nature is the principal attraction cited by tourists for visiting Iceland. The diverse natural attractions in various locations across the country make mobility essential for tourism. With driving being the main mode of transport, roads become central to visitors’ experience in the growing tourism sector. This chapter argues that the road has an often overlooked role in creating an understanding of the environment. The chapter sets out by looking at roads along the key trajectory of tourism along the Golden Circle leading to the waterfall of Gullfoss and the Geysir area, by investigating roadbuilding of the past and present in the national park of Þingvellir and how roads are represented through time. Road networks are a pragmatic infrastructure for creating connections but also become meaningful for how we understand the landscape around us. With the tourism sector largely emphasising individual attractions or destinations as part of the tourist experience, this chapter shifts focus onto routes, roads and landscapes, highlighting how roads become fundamental in constructing relations to nature through the transformation of the landscape and by enabling mobilities.

Making Books for Mr Murray: The Case of Edward Parry's Third Arctic Narrative

The Arctic explorer Edward Parry was among the most admired heroes of the 1820s, and his four narratives, all published by John Murray, won exceptionally high praise from reviewers. However, the praise was not unmixed with criticism. This article examines the reception of the third narrative, which was the least favourably received of the four. Reviewers' praise of it was often combined with insinuations that the true aim of the Admiralty expeditions led by Parry and his fellow naval officers was the production of luxurious and profitable quartos (or, as it was then termed, ‘book-making’). Many of the reviews demonstrate a sceptical and highly sophisticated approach to exploration literature as a genre. The case of Parry's third narrative therefore demonstrates the complexity of the processes through which the credibility and cultural authority of exploration narratives were negotiated.
