“Only that traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.” Henry David Thoreau in his Journal.
During the conservation biology course at the University of Iceland, we took three afternoon field trips to supplement our classroom work:
 |
| Photo 1: On Monday, Jose Alves and Tómas Grétar Gunnarsson showed us their long-term shore bird study in a coastal estuary. |
 |
| Photo 2: On Tuesday, the class visited the Reykjavik Botanical Garden. |
Photo 3: Rock gardens were a particular strength.
 |
| Photo 4: The plant beds were built from stones cut by hand as part of a make-work project during the Great Depression in the 1930s. |
 |
| Photo 5: On Thursday. Mariana Lucia Tamayo and her students gave us a tour of urban ecology and birds on the University of Iceland campus. |
