Iceland

1998

Sisse Brimberg

"Symbol of survival, the Icelandic horse served as the only transport
for a thousand years. Purebred descendants of stock brought by
ninth-century Viking settlers, the much loved, five-gaited horses are
now ridden for pleasure and in farmers&#039 annual sheep roundups."

(Text from "Iceland: Life Under the Glaciers," February 1987, National
Geographic magazine)

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "In Search of
the Vikings," May 2000, National Geographic magazine)
