Iceland..Land of Fire...Ice...and Greenery

When people hear the country's name they naturally think of ICE, but actually only about 10% of the country is glacier covered; the rest is a green landscape with waterfalls, geysers, hot springs and volcanos galore.  Throw in magnificent Icelandic horses, black sand beaches, puffins, whales and  friendly people and you have a great place to visit only 5 hours from New York. Its landscape is a photographer's delight. Come along with us as we make a summertime visit to this wonderful land.

This presentation differs significantly from the "old family style slide show" of the past. Using modern digital technology, it includes multiple soundtracks for narration and local background music, pan and zoom effects ala "Ken Burns" (Jazz, Baseball, The Civil War...on PBS), movie clips and animation. It is a truly multi-media show. 

We will introduce the program with a discussion of background information and follow it with a question and answer period. The program includes a brief review of the history of the area. Significant currents events may be included in the discussion. Our large size photographic prints of scenes from the show will be displayed and discussed.  The formal show runs 35-45 minutes and the total presentation from 60-90 minutes.
