RUCKSACK MAGAZINE VOLUME THREE: THE ISLAND ISSUE

The stories in this issue are about islands; perfect in their isolation.

The Island Issue explores the raw beauty to be found in the rugged landscape of the Faroe Islands; how a change in the weather can result in an altered perspective of a familiar place. The second part of the magazine uncovers the theme of isolation through a variety of other islands; Svalbard, Lofoten and Newfoundland providing the perfect setting with which to do so. The lava covered volcanoes of Hawaii coupled with the jagged rocks of the Isle of Skye and St Hilda transport us into a Jurassic Era long forgotten. The stories explore what it truly means to inhabit an island where being surrounded by water is a daily reminder of complete isolation.
