Iceland, Greenland, and the Canadian Arctic

We are on a trip with Linblad Expeditions.  We left NJ for JFK Friday afternoon and boarded an overnight flight to Reykjavik, Iceland.  We headed for the hotel upon arrival and caught up on our sleep.  In the afternoon we took a bus to various sights.  We started out with lunch on the top floor of the Perlan, a neat domed building with exhibits about Iceland.

And great views of the city, including that amazing church.

Then we drove out into the countryside scattered with lava and dotted with steam vents.  We went to a geothermal power plant which provides the city with hot water and electricity.

Then we drove to the little town of Hverageroi which uses the local steam to heat greenhouses where they grow beautiful flowers.  Then off to a small horse stable to see pretty little Iceland horses perform.
