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!
