Hi Putney friends! I'm so excited to be taking over for a few days to share some highlights from our Career program in #Iceland. My name is Erica Frisk (@ericafriskphoto) and I've led trips with Putney for the last two years. 

We began our trip in the beautiful city of #Reykjavik where we visited the #Bluelagoon and explored local museums before embarking on a tour of the #Goldencircle as well as #Thingvellir National Park. We
were joined by Dr. M.Jackson, a world renown glaciologist who focuses her research on the complex impacts of glacier change for communities. Our next stop was Höfn, a remote gateway to the mighty #Vatnajökull #glacier, the world’s largest ice cap outside the Arctic and Antarctica. Together we strapped on our crampons and trekked across #Breiðamerkurjökull, one of Vatnajökull’s largest outlet glaciers, even trying out ice climbing all while learning about the key components of climate change and its impacts. Our adventure continued along the northern side of the island, climbing underground into an ancient #icecave followed by a dip in the geothermal waters of the #MývatnNatureBaths. Two final highlights from our trip was riding the furry and majestic #icelandichorses on the slopes above a fjord before wrapping up with a whale watching tour in #Akureyri. Our students created impressive final projects focusing on their unique investigations on this epic expedition focusing on photography, climate & geology.

This amazing expedition wouldn't have been possible without our valued partners and guides along with my fellow leaders @eaaronross @vagabond_of_the_sea 

Join our Career Iceland program this summer: June 30-July 13, 2022!
