An interesting read so far - part Victorian Icelandic travelogue and part history of science essay with occasional detours into anthropology.
Fascinating and bizarre to imagine that in the 1800s people thought it was impossible for a species to become extinct due to non-divine reasons. Love the idea of extinct species actually just hiding somewhere 🤦♂️😂
