N2  - "A Girl's Ride in Iceland" by Mrs. Alec-Tweedie is an adventurous travelogue written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows the author and her companions as they embark on an audacious journey to Iceland, overcoming societal conventions regarding women's roles in travel and riding. The text combines a personal account of their expedition, emphasizing the landscape, culture, and challenges of traveling in Iceland during that era.  At the start of the narrative, the author shares her idea of traveling to Iceland as an alternative to the typical tourist destinations. Initially met with skepticism from her peers, her resolve strengthens, leading her to organize a small party with her brother and friends for this unique expedition. The opening chapters describe their preparations and experiences aboard the steamer "Camoens" as they navigate the rough seas towards Iceland, detailing various mishaps and the lively atmosphere on board, which sets the stage for their adventures upon arrival in this mysterious and starkly beautiful land.
