Hi everyone. On Sunday I returned from my first of many Iceland sampling trips! As some of you know, I will be studying the effects of climate warming on stream ecosystems over the next 4 (or more) years. I am just one person in a team of 7-8 people working on this project and we are using a suite of spring fed streams in Iceland as our study site. This first sampling trip was not without problems, but is was a successful trip nonetheless.
We were very busy the entire trip and had little time to explore. Days were spent working outside in the cold. It was just above freezing and windy most days. Most nights were spent drinking Gull beer, chatting, and watching YouTube videos on our computers. However, being that we were staying in downtown Reykjavik, we did find some time to have fun and enjoy the interesting Icelandic cuisine at night. Between the minke whale kebabs, guillemot curry, and sheep intestinal fat, we kept ourselves sated.
That's about it for now. I will be heading back in about a month. It will surely be colder and windier then. Here's a link to a few pictures from my trip. Enjoy!
