'King Penguin' is still in Brighton preparing to celebrate his mother's 90th birthday later today
Polar Travels - Episode 4: Iceland
On returning from my 'Job of a Lifetime' with BAS, I had to find a 'real' job, Having qualified to teach (at Dundee) before I left, I had to take up a post within three years of that or else have to do a refresher course. I headed back to Fife and applied for a post as a biology teacher.
At that time too, I met my wife-to-be and we duly got married in Kirkcaldy. But where to go for a honeymoon? Rome? Rhodes? Rio? No. we settled on Reykjavik for our destination.Ten days in the land of fire and ice.
Iceland is very active, geologically speaking. There are many thermal springs and geysers where hot lava is still close to the surface. Occasional mild earthquakes occur and volcanic eruptions occur every few years or so. Remember the ash cloud that disrupted air transport a few years back? But I bet you don't remember the name of the volcano – 'No?', well, I can't either.
I remember Iceland mostly for the lava fields, often with hexagonal columnular pillars, and for the waterfalls that seemed to be everywhere. Then there were the hot springs, often sulphurous, where you could bathe with snow in the background.
Iceland can also be a good place to see the Northern Lights but not in July when it is light almost all through the night.
We said we'd go back one day, maybe an anniversary trip, but so far, it hasn't happened.
The final set of photographs will be found here:

I do hope there will be enough points on offer to get the last few onto the scoreboard.

Good Morning all.
Before I post I would like to thank Gen2 for taking over from Crofter and keeping the MM links going for these past years. As you all can tell it is not often we get the answers correctly, but we do enjoy pitting our brains against the setters. Having said that we want to wish Gen2 the very best. We will miss you, Gen2, and also the indirect contact with those who play the game each week. Good luck today and in all the days to come.
Here is our last try at the golden ring.

Once again to Gen2, Au Revoir and Good Luck.
