Iceland is a result of the separation (rift) of the North American and European tectonic plates. Here we see Bob and Joyce at the sign marking the division.
Bridge over the rift. Who would ever believe that Europe and America could be so close!!
Typical lunch by the bus
On the march toward the Askja Volcano. We had 20 minutes of snow showers.
Nothing like a July 4th picnic in the great outdoors. The rain was not too heavy .....
In hot water again!
Most of the group at the mouth of the "church cave" at Dimmuborgir
