seems to lead nowhere. Past the tiny Grafakirkja church, little farmhouses thin out into nothing but a green glacial landscape, riven with streams and flanked by the mountains of Iceland’s Southern Highlands.</p> <p>But at the end of the road, in a simple bungalow, lives Iceland’s most celebrated sheep farmer. Heiða Guðný Ásgeirsdóttir, now 40, is a former fashion model and local policewoman, who took over the family farm at Ljótarstaðir when she was 23, when her late father could no longer manage the 6,464-hectare farm. Now she lives there with her mother and 500 or so sheep, which she manages by and large alone.</p> <p>But she’s now best known as an environmental activist. When an Icelandic power company proposed plans in 2012 to build a hydroelectric station whose reservoir would cover much of her farm, she refused to sell her land and fought the proposal, despite fierce pressure from the company and other locals who wanted to sell for significant profit. Her passionate fight drew the attention of Steinunn Sigurðardóttir, a novelist and poet who had never written non-fiction before but decided to write the book, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949/https://www.forlagid.is/vara/heida-fjalldalabondinn/">Heiða – Fjalldalabóndi</a>, about her (the name Fjalldalabóndi translates as ‘The Farmer in the Valley’, Ásgeirsdóttir’s nickname locally).</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="text-right" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-2"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-text-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Heiða Guðný Ásgeirsdóttir (Credit: Credit: River Thompson)" alt="Heiða Guðný Ásgeirsdóttir (Credit: Credit: River Thompson)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="(Credit: River Thompson)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5h/7c/p05h7csv.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">(Credit: River Thompson)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5h/7c/p05h7csv.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap"> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap-inner" data-sg-full-height> <div class="sg-slide-content sg-slide-sidebar-content" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-sidebar-inner"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining sg-slide-sidebar-inner-lining"> <h2 class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-2">A reluctant heroine</h2> <p>“When Steinunn called me and asked, has anyone ever written a book about you? I said, ‘Er, no’,” Ásgeirsdóttir recalled. “The idea was way out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to draw attention to the fight I was in for my home – and also to the life of a sheep farmer. I didn’t realise, though, that so much of it would be about me.”</p> <p>When the book was published in 2016, Ásgeirsdóttir was terrified. “I remember going to the publishing party and thinking I’d have a heart attack. There were all these people there for a book that was all about me. All I wanted to do was disappear, to be back on the farm with my sheep.”</p> <p>But the response to the book has been hugely positive. “The other day, I opened my postbox and there was a bottle of Cognac with a message, saying ‘With love, your readers’. That’s happened a few times, and more and more people stop to talk about it. I’m getting used to it.”</p> <p>And, for now, the plans for the hydroelectric plant are off. “But I don’t dare to say we’ve won,” Ásgeirsdóttir said. “I still want to fight for this beautiful place.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="text-right" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-3"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-text-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="‘Blessed be the countryside’ (Credit: Credit: River Thompson)" alt="‘Blessed be the countryside’ (Credit: Credit: River Thompson)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="(Credit: River Thompson)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5h/7c/p05h7cyl.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">(Credit: River Thompson)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5h/7c/p05h7cyl.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap"> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap-inner" data-sg-full-height> <div class="sg-slide-content sg-slide-sidebar-content" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-sidebar-inner"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining sg-slide-sidebar-inner-lining"> <h2 class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-3">‘Blessed be the countryside’</h2> <p>The sign in the kitchen represents Ásgeirsdóttir’s view of the land where she grew up. “You can’t be a farmer if you don’t respect and love the land,” she said. “This place is everything to me.

Ásgeirsdóttir works to keep the animals safe and well fed, and scans them for foetuses; and, in the spring, she shears the sheep. “It can be a hard, physical job.” she said. “Just today I was driving a 20-tonne digger, lifting hay bales and fixing fences.”</p> <p>In February 2017, she caused quite a stir at the world sheep-shearing competition in New Zealand, as the only woman in the

pay for men and women – Ásgeirsdóttir is a committed feminist. “I struggled when I was a model,” she said. “I’d been this tall, skinny, strange-looking kid, and women kept telling me I could be a model. I did it for a while, and went to New York for a modelling competition – but standing there just looking pretty felt stupid to me. I wanted to let my work talk.”</p> <p>“I want to tell women they can do anything, and to show that sheep farming isn’t just a man’s game. I guess I’ve always been a feminist. When I was growing up, there was a female president, and I used to wear the same clothes and play with the same toys as the boys. It was just normal to me.”</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="overlay-bottom-right" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-9"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-overlay-bottom-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Sheep farmer Heiða Guðný Ásgeirsdóttir was once a model (Credit: Credit: River Thompson)" alt="Sheep farmer Heiða Guðný Ásgeirsdóttir was once a model (Credit: Credit: River Thompson)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="(Credit: River Thompson)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5h/7d/p05h7djr.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">(Credit: River Thompson)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180122062949oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5h/7d/p05h7djr.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap sg-slide-overlay-content-wrap" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-content clearfix" data-sg-slide-contents> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-overlay-content"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining"> <div class="sg-slide-overlay-content-holder" id="slide-label-9"> <blockquote> <p>My old agent lost my book, so I only have a few pictures left.

People on the tours generally ask about life on the farm: what I do, what it’s like, how I keep myself entertained.

If you go back to the fork in the road from the farm and head north on the bumpy track for a few hours (if the road is open), you get to the Southern Highlands, a raw and untouched part of the country whose spectacular peaks were formed by the collision between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.</p> <p>Highlights include Landmannalaugur, where a geothermal hot spring and campsite is surrounded by vividly coloured rhyolite mountains; and the Fimmvörðuháls mountain ridge, where people can hike beneath the Eyjafjallajökull volcano to the steaming craters that were formed by its epic eruption in 2010.</p> <p>“My dream is to have all the Highlands as a protected national park,” Ásgeirsdóttir said. “Even many Icelanders don’t realise just how beautiful it all is.”</p> </div> </div>

west to Vík, which is known for its pretty little church and the Reynisfjara black sand beach, whose black lava sand and spectacular basalt rock formations and stacks are said to have frightened trolls.</p> <p>Around a 20-minute drive west of Vík lies Solheimasandur, a black beach famous for the abandoned US Navy plane that crash-landed here in 1973 – and which Ásgeirsdóttir is somewhat bemused by. “It was just there for all these years and no one really paid much attention,” she said. “But then people started photographing it, and it became this hotspot for tourists.”</p> <p>Still, few can argue with some of the natural sights on the same road – like the booming Skógafoss waterfall, a huge sheet of water that crashes 60m, creating so much spray that you can see a rainbow on sunny days. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="overlay-top-left"
