6/5/13 - 6/9/13, otherwise known as Adventures in North Iceland, Part 3

6/7/13, Friday

Camille got up early for a phone interview for a Masters program while Laura, Loudi, and I went off to pick up and redeploy sensors. Then again with the conferencing, this time with video cameras! There was a crew there making a documentary I think about one of the seismologists, and we may have made it into the Icelandic evening news. How exciting :-D (We show up around 16:15.)

Also exciting: Camille found out during the conference that she got into this really selective Masters program that she wanted. This prompted a post-conference trip to Vínbúðin and the grocery store for supplies. We also picked up our final sensor and made fun of Christian's sense of direction a bit, then showered, dinner, more apple cobbler, and WHALE WATCHING!

There were plenty of whales to be seen, and Laura tells me one even jumped out of the water a bit, but I only caught the first hour of the 3-hour whale experience since I fell completely asleep for the last two hours. I've gone whale watching 3 times now and have never lasted for more than the first half. :-P It was good though, and we got to wear these exciting warm safety coveralls. (Picture courtesy of Loudi.)

We tried to end our last night in Husavik with a final trip to the cheese tub, only to find that it was empty. Very sad. But probably a good thing that they clean it each night.
