The post-meeting excursion departs Kirkjubaejarklaustur at 10:30 AM on 6 June and returns to Reykjavik at around 7:00PM Tue 7 June. The excursion will take you to past coastlines and cliffs (basaltic columns), waterfalls (Gullfoss, Skogafoss), glaciers (Myrdalsjokull), small villages, Hekla (a famous volcano in Iceland that erupted in early March 2000 and produced 15-20 km2 of basaltic lava), a farm from the settlement period, geothermal areas, lakes, and Thingvellir (the national park where the Atlantic rift can be seen on land). You will see changes in landscape, rock types, colors -- and probably also in the weather. The cost of the excursion depends on the number of participants; with 20 participants we expect the cost to be about USD$265. The cost includes all transportation and meals, and accommodations the night of June 6. If you require accommodations in Reykjavik on June 7, this would not be covered in the excursion price.
