Snowy and Busy Arrival To Iceland

It was fascinating to see how the ocean and the mountains exist right next to each other.

Beautiful and beautiful, the snow is soft and warm.
-Rikako I

I was surprised that snow does not accumulate very much because of the warm water underground.
-Hotaru M

I feel like the Icelandic people have a different relationship with their country. For instance, everyone seems to be fulfilled with their social status and lifestyle.

The sky seemed so close that I feared it was going to fall on us. BUT I LOVED IT!
-Yeva Y

The barren landscape of Iceland was a huge surprise.
-Alec W

This was a big surprise and so nice that it cleared up.
-Teddy S

I never realized how different the culture was between us and the Scandinavians.
-Jess C

Overall I feel this country is very nice and beautiful.

Iceland has a really different culture compared to America. The metric system is meters and celsius. Weather is changeable and snowflakes are bigger than those in New Hampton!
-Joyce M

The weather in Iceland is hard to take a picture of because you never know when it is going to snow or when the sun will come out.
-George O

It was amazing how the pool water got naturally heated.
-Leo B

The culture is very different from our culture, and it is very hard to get used to the routine.
-Mingyu Y

After exiting the bathing area, a feeling of overall wellness overcame our senses.
-Oliver S

I felt awkward when the guard in the locker room of the hot spring made us wash ourselves nude in an open area.
-Max Z

The traditions are different in this country. You are asked to take off all your clothes in front of the locker room guard and wash yourself. Really awkward!

The mountains that were formed by volcanos keep growing in size, which I thought was really cool.
-Branton B

It was really cool to learn that Iceland grows two centimeters every year because of the tectonic plates shifting apart.
