'The call for contributions for Landscapes Volume 10, Issue 1, went out towards the latter half of 2019, with the title “Landscapes: ‘The Idea of North’”. A serendipitous, thematic title, this was inspired by Glenn Gould’s mesmeric 1967 documentary of Northern Canada, The Idea of North, as well as the 1946 memoir of life in the Nordic countries In the North, by Lady Constance Malleson; it was a link to one of the first publications from Landscapes Volume 1, Andrew Taylor’s “Wild 1 – The North”, and the field-based study experience of a group of exchange students at the International Centre for Landscape and Language (ECU), heading north from Perth, Western Australia; it was finally a reflection of the Nordic location of the editor of this volume, in Sweden. While the publications of this issue taken as a body of work cannot purport to represent any sustained sense of an engagement with the idea of North, they nevertheless embody the sense of the eclecticism implicit in the original call for contributions.'
