Iceland

ducational travel at Mercy has spanned countries from Vietnam to Europe to Galapacos and now Iceland. A group of 13 Mercy students and faculty, led by science teachers Jennifer Lambdin and Dr. Pat Bradley, traveled to Iceland over Easter break 2017. Using the beautiful capital city of Reykjavic as their home base they ventured out every day exploring. They visited a Viking museum, the Golden Circle (including many waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, national parks and a glacier), toured a geothermal power plant, a greenhouse, a cod fishing museum, the Skógar Museum, Þorvaldseyri Visitor Center, the Reynisdrangar Rock Formations, black sand beaches, a tiny fishing village, and an Icelandic horse ranch enjoying a private tutoring session about these special horses as well as learning all about their history. The group finally made it to the Blue Lagoon (pictured below) where they enjoyed an afternoon bathing in this beautiful hot geothermal spa-like pool while learning all about how it formed and how it works. The views were breathtaking, the company was fantastic and everyone who went on the adventure came back with a sense of wonder for this great country and our planet. ducational travel at Mercy has spanned countries from Vietnam to Europe to Galapacos and now Iceland.
