On June 15 – 17, the IAT will hold its first General Meeting outside of North America in Reykjavik, Iceland. The meeting will be hosted by IAT partner Icelandic Touring Association (http://www.fi.is/en), and be followed by tours in and round Reykjavik.
Plans include an official reception at the United States Embassy, participation in National Holiday celebrations, and a tour of Thingvellir National Park, where a section of the Mid Atlantic Ridge – which separates the North American and Eurasia continental plates and their “Appalachian” mountains and terrains – is visible on the surface of the earth.
This will be followed by scenic tours of an historic viking site, volcano, and hot spring.
Following the meetings and tours in Iceland, some of the participants will travel on to Greenland to visit sections of the IAT there, as well more historic viking and scenic sites.
