Our trek through the Nordic countries has taken us to Iceland. Not many people live on this icy island, of interesting geological features like volcanoes and thermal hot springs and glaciers. We made our own glacier gak out of glue and borax and compared its properties to that of glaciers, and brainstormed other uses for it: Holding a nail, putting it around a hot cup, shading out the sun on a window and help open things that are stuck. Next week we will talk about the Puffins of Iceland and a special dish called Hakarl--not for the faint of stomach!
