Iceland Trek!

So one of the best things about MIT are the treks. I went on my first trip over Columbus day to Iceland. We had 38 people from MIT on the trip. I stayed with 4 other girls in a studio apartment in Reykjavik. We were only there 4 days but we packed alot in that short

amount of time. First of all Icelanders LOVE to party. The bars stay open

until 6 am and it was a scene saturday night! If you ever go there be sure

to go out on a saturday night. Anyway ad far as touristy things that we did

We saw some Geysers, went to the Blue Lagoon,

and best of all visited a geothermal power plant. The location of Iceland

on the North American and Eurasion plates allows them to harness the

Geothermal energy underneath the Earth's surface. They have implemented a completely sustainable energy solution

even provide hot water to your house! I am sure this will be the first of the many treks I take. If you get a chance

to do them I would definitely recommend it!
