Iceland's Greatest Museum: Nature

I had originally planned to participate in the Mathematical Beauty in Rome Global Seminar, but became kind of disappointed when I had discovered that it had been cancelled. Instead I chose to be in the Fire and Ice program in Iceland because I knew that I still wanted to study abroad. Now I am actually thankful that I was able to go to Iceland instead of Rome. I slowly began to realize that although Iceland didn’t have as many fancy museums and historical artifacts as Italy, it did have a diverse and unique geography unlike anywhere else in the world. The layers of old lava flows that envelopes it, basalt columns, and glaciers is its own kind of geological museum.
