We started off with a class on biofuels that accompanied a visit to the Þorvaldseyri farm and Eyjafjallajökull eruption visitor.
Biofuel for the humans:
Biofuel for the bus:
Weird. But so cool.
We learned all about the eruption in 2010 and a whole host of other fun facts about life in the valley of an active volcano.
After stretching our brains it was again time to stretch our legs. We hiked up the Skógá river to see Skógáfoss--one last waterfall-- and a nice picnic lunch. The entertainment for the afternoon was Glíma--Icelandic wrestling. I haven't quite figured out the best strategy for winning, but the added element of being rather close to the edge of a 80m drop really made it exciting and suspenseful.
We were all exhausted, but we mustered up the energy for an amazing glacier hike up the tongue of Sólheimajökull.
I convinced almost everyone to participate in the "Glacial Facial" treatment. Of course it wasn't anything like the spa day you can pay thousands for, but we had our fun.
Tonight has been spent fighting with the internet again and trying to get the actual presentations put together for tomorrow.
I can't believe I'm already having to think about packing for home! It's been too short.
