10 days in Iceland is a science teachers dream! Volcanoes, columnar basalt, waterfalls, glaciers, and puffins!
This photo shows a waterfall on the way to the Fimmvorduhaal pass. Eyjafjatlajokull volcano is still smoking a bit in the left background. A glacier is seen in the distance.
I travelled 120 meters underground into this cathedral sized magma chamber. The colors were unworldly; the entrance a 12 m chimney down which we were lowered by a crane.
Here is aweb address to a video describing the trip:

From the top of Skogarfoss (waterfall).
My favorite bird in Iceland - the charming puffins. They are so unafraid of humans that they willingly pose for me.
