At Glacier’s End
I’m very proud to release my first book, after several years of passionate work. At Glacier’s End takes you on a journey down Iceland’s glacial rivers, from headwaters to sea. It features photographer Chris Burkard’s finest aerial images from nearly a decade of flights. Iceland’s rivers have become culturally iconic in large part because of Burkard’s incredible passion for them. Finally, all his best images from Iceland live in one place in this perfect coffee table book. Alongside those images, Matt McDonald takes the reader on a journey (in 10,000 words of prose) down these rivers, providing a cultural and environmental perspective from their formations to present day. All of Iceland's major rivers have become threatened by heavy industry in recent decades; however, a massive conservation movement is underway to save them today, led by the Icelandic government. Will it succeed? Order a copy of At Glacier’s End today to get a front row seat to the whole story – both visually and in words.
