the country
our study location
we had roast lamb
and The Traveler having a good Danish brew
we studied how they lived
saw the beautiful Icelandic horses
learned how the woman's last name is "her father's daughter"
from the pastor
of a country church
we studied volcanic formation
saw a geyser
the Gullfoss falls
and walked on the fault line between the North American and European tectonic plates
and braved the wind from the
central Icelandic ice pack
(the winds are generated by the different in temperature between the ice and the
barren land)
More Photos of Iceland Geologic Features

and how they feed their young
and made a home visit
where they showed us Icelandic sweaters
and photos from their family's vacation in the North of Iceland
