Today we were stood in a crater of an active volcano. It was an amazing experience, when you felt the ground there was warm pumice that covered the volcano. We travelled on the ferry (not my favourite way of transport), it took around thirty five minutes which I spent on the deck with the wind blowing in my face, it was really cold. We went to a really interesting museum which had an exhibition of the events that happened 41 years ago, the eruption that nearly caused the island to lose all its main income, fishing. After the museum the teachers were really kind to us all and bought us a hot chocolate each. We then had a short stroll around the town and shortly boarded the the ferry, we then had quite a long journey on the bus to the hotel. Dave said it was an Icelandic 20 minutes which in England can go from 10 minutes to 3 and a half hours!
We settled down in the hotel and tried to get a good night's sleep before the early start in the morning.
