About Egill
I am a sailor moonlighting as a journalist, or vice versa. My free-lance work ranges from spot news on erupting volcanoes to what is possibly the longest article ever written on seasickness. My travel writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Financial Times and, most recently, the Lonely Planet. In 2021, my first book, "How Iceland Changed the World: The Big History of a Small Island", was published by Penguin Books.
