After all of the work to prepare for the trip and make sure as much of it would go as smoothly as possible, we all made it to Iceland. I'd like to thank my two colleagues in this adventure who helped to make it all possible. They are my friends Edna Collis from the Geological Society of America and Toni Rottenberg from TRC Consultants. Without their extensive contributions none of this would have been possible. I'd also like to thank Lauren Eversoll for the excellent job she did as our camp manager.

The other thing that made this trip a success was the fantastic group of people who went along. It was amazing to see how rapidly the group bonded together. Within 24 hours, we had formed a tribe. There was never a complaint about the conditions we were living in or about the sometimes long bus rides. The long subarctic summer days made this somewhat easier to withstand, since there is always something beautiful to look at in Iceland. I think most of us slept better during these two weeks than we normally do. I know I did.

I'd also like to thank Heidi Galloway who managed to read and enter my handwritten journal into MS Word format so that it could be presented here.

Here is a list of the participants. Most of us have email accounts and can be reached by clicking the name. I will try to keep this list current as people move around.
