"Pen and Pencil Sketches of Faröe and Iceland" by Andrew James Symington is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. This work combines personal diary entries with observations made during Symington's journey to the remote islands of Faröe and Iceland, aiming to capture the natural beauty and cultural richness of these northern climes. The book features sketches and insights about Icelandic life, landscapes, and the author's interactions with local inhabitants, all presented in an engaging and picturesque style. The opening portion of the travelogue introduces readers to Symington's preparations for his voyage to Iceland, detailing his contemplation of different travel options and the eventual choice to board the mail steamer "Arcturus." He vividly describes the ship's departure from Leith, the atmosphere on board with fellow passengers, and his feelings of anticipation and wonder as they journey through the North Sea. In addition, Symington begins to share his impressions of the landscapes, local life, and the natural phenomena that characterize both Faröe and Iceland, setting the stage for a rich exploration of these extraordinary places throughout the remainder of his narrative.
