In the land where summer has twenty-four hours of sun, the dark of night begins in September with the dipping of the sun. Two puffin friends, Arni and Birta are exploring Iceland but have only hours left before dark. Meanwhile, Arni’s mother and father continue searching for them. It’s getting late and all pufflings must head out to sea when night falls.

Before Arni and Birta set off on their long four-year sea journey, an Icelandic Faery plays clever tricks on them, making their grand adventure longer than expected! Hot on their tails, Arni’s parents find the famous Blue Lagoon and a beach glistening with diamonds. Would you like to join the fun with these adventurous ones?

In this third book of the Iceland: The Puffin Explorers series, Arni and Birta discover glaciers, volcanoes, natural energy, and some of the legendary folk of Iceland. Fun facts are placed throughout the adventure to educate about Iceland’s volcanoes, waterfalls, glaciers, and much more.
