Margrét Ólafsdóttir

Margrét, 78, has dedicated her life to running the only dog-grooming table in Gufuvík, a geothermal town in Iceland's Westfjords. Her days are steeped in the cycles of village life, where she finds comfort in the soft nudges and disturbances of a growing community. Her hands have groomed countless dogs under the steam from natural hot springs, and for seven years her pies were the pride of the county fair. Yet, as the village's population dwindles and her fingers struggle with the last stubborn knots, she worries about the future of her beloved practice.
