In this 2026 edition, the book unfolds as a leporello (concertina-style), much like a landscape. It does not recount the journey; rather, it captures its imprint. Carborundum, volcanic sands, relief textures, and Falun red bring out the ruggedness and energy of Iceland, while the poem extends its inner resonance.

The Alexis de Tocqueville Library is hosting the exhibition RETURN TO ICELAND by the artist Bernard Alligand from November 15 to January 7,
