2 Dear alumnae, alumni, parents and friends: Step into a land of contrasts, where glittering glaciers cap simmering volcanoes, ancient Viking ruins exist alongside the latest in geothermal technology and night and day meld under the midnight sun. This is Iceland, a rugged, beautiful and everchanging landscape that serves as a testament to the powerful forces that shape our planet. Join this specially designed seven-night cruise, a rare opportunity to see Iceland s extraordinary terrain of fire and ice. Cruise along the coast and into the breathtaking West Fjords aboard the deluxe Small Ship M.S. LE BORÉAL, featuring state-of-the-art amenities and personalized service in an intimate setting. Cruise into remote areas and dock in small ports inaccessible to larger vessels and rarely visited by even the most experienced travelers. Encounter Iceland s wondrous sights at close range: abundant wildlife, world-renowned geological marvels and ancient cultural traditions. Discover a naturalist s paradise, home to colonies of puffins and auks, lush mosses and marshes, and pods of minke and humpback whales that feed along this island nation s dramatic coastline. Cross into the Arctic Circle, where this paradoxical frontier averages a surprising 60 Fahrenheit in the summer, perfect for exploring the seldom-seen top of the world. From towering fjords to spouting geysers and obsidian lava fields, see unimaginable scenery that exists nowhere else on Earth. Learn more about the first Norse settlers and their distinct traditions, great medieval sagas and supernatural beliefs in the huldufólk ( hidden people or elves) and the mystical power places in nature echoes from the past that are still relevant in modern Icelandic culture. You can further extend your exploration of the far north on the specially arranged Pre-Cruise Option night in Reykjavik. Don t miss this journey into the otherworldly wonders of Iceland for an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. This attractively priced program has been a sellout every year.

Land of Fire and Ice Iceland is a land of unparalleled geological riches and home to some of the most diverse phenomena on Earth 4,500 square miles of glaciers, 15 active volcanoes, 10,000 waterfalls, 800 hot springs. Born by the monumental forces unleashed in the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and at the same time carved out by majestic, slow-moving glaciers, the land is a combination of intense energy and total calm. The country of Iceland as we know it continues to take shape, yet parts have hardly changed since the first Viking settlers saw it more than 1,100 years ago. Iceland s landscape is infectious. Walk around one corner and look out over volcanic craters and fissures. Turn the next, and bubbling hot springs send steam into the air against a backdrop of sand fields, snow-capped mountains and black lava desert. Keep walking, and you will come upon the deep freeze powerful waterfalls and mammoth icecaps so pristine that they reflect the clear ice-blue of the crystal sky above. Along the coast, Iceland s characteristic fjords, the deep inlets cut into the coastline, chronicle the pathways of its glaciers.
