Immaqa: a Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) word meaning perhaps, possibly, or maybe, because often, in Greenland, you are dependent on the weather and have to go with the flow ... or floe.
A lifelong literary devotion leads travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber to the annual Iceland Writer's Retreat, where her favourite author, award-winning Canadian writer Will Ferguson, is presenting. The retreat links her adoration of him with a quest that is inspiring and self-deprecatingly comedic.
Join Lorna in Iceland as she snowmobiles across Europe's largest glacier, totters through the narrow crevasse between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, rides Icelandic horses through volcanic valleys, and learns how to bake rye bread in geothermal soil. Visit Greenland's sheep farming villages, view the Illulisat Ice Fjord's colossal icebergs, and don crampons to climb on Greenland's ice sheet with Lorna as she confronts physical challenges and embraces the Arctic weather and terrain.
This memoir celebrates curiosity, nature, and the transformative power of travel. Through her exploration of these two rugged islands, Lorna develops a great appreciation for the lifestyles and landscapes of the North while laughing at and rolling with the absurdities that arise when well laid plans collide with illness, injury, and unpredictable weather.
