Something for me to look forward to: this
Spanish translation of a book by the Italian writer Leonardo Piccione. The publisher's description (roughly rendered) states:
The 47 stories contained in this volume are linked in various manners with the volcanoes of Iceland, and reveal them from the adventures of the first colonizers of the island to the deeds of extreme explorers, from the old Norse sagas to the NASA missions in the "lunar" canyons of the highlands, alternating science, poetry, chronicle, and legend.
If nothing else, the book design, judging from
the interior spreads shown on the publisher's website, is stunning. The Nórdica Libros edition is due in February 2024; there's no word on an English-language version yet, as far as I can tell. The title translates as "Fictional Atlas of the Volcanoes of Iceland."

This looks like good strange fun, or will (for me) when there's an English translation. I see that the publisher also has a translation of the Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands, which is great geographical entertainment.
Ooh, I have to add that one to my list. Thanks, Michael.
