Polar Travels - Episode 4: Iceland
On returning from my 'Job of a Lifetime' with BAS, I had to find a 'real' job, Having qualified to teach (at Dundee) before I left, I had to take up a post within three years of that or else have to do a refresher course. I headed back to Fife and applied for a post as a biology teacher.
At that time too, I met my wife-to-be and we duly got married in Kirkcaldy. But where to go for a honeymoon? Rome? Rhodes? Rio? No. we settled on Reykjavik for our destination.Ten days in the land of fire and ice.
Iceland is very active, geologically speaking. There are many thermal springs and geysers where hot lava is still close to the surface. Occasional mild earthquakes occur and volcanic eruptions occur every few years or so. Remember the ash cloud that disrupted air transport a few years back? But I bet you don't remember the name of the volcano – 'No?', well, I can't either.
I remember Iceland mostly for the lava fields, often with hexagonal columnular pillars, and for the waterfalls that seemed to be everywhere. Then there were the hot springs, often sulphurous, where you could bathe with snow in the background.
Iceland can also be a good place to see the Northern Lights but not in July when it is light almost all through the night.
We said we'd go back one day, maybe an anniversary trip, but so far, it hasn't happened.
The final set of photographs will be found here:

I do hope there will be enough points on offer to get the last few onto the scoreboard.

No best answer has yet been selected by gen2. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.
I remind you for the final time, that according to normal practice, for the everyday running of MM, I shall follow this rule on word length, in that each of my pre-selected link words contains at least four letters and at most eight letters. Stray outside this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts!
Each of the selected link words may go in front of, or behind my challenge word to make a new longer word or to make a well-known phrase or saying. The combination will never be a person's name.
The competition will officially close on Sunday Evening at 7.00pm, when my alter-ego, gen2, will declare my pre-selected words and then apply the same rules for awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the past. My set of four words to have their links predicted should appear below at 9.00am.
