While in Iceland, Howard becomes obsessed with the idea of finding the lost land of Rafnaland, a mythical island said to be filled with riches and wonders.As Howard's obsession grows, he becomes more and more isolated from the people around him, including his wife and family. He spends years exploring the Icelandic wilderness, searching for clues that will lead him to Rafnaland. Along the way, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a mysterious woman who may hold the key to his quest.Rafnaland: The Strange Story Of John Heath Howard is a fascinating exploration of obsession, adventure, and the allure of the unknown.
