| News Countries in Pictures – Travel Talk Series- ICELAND by Mr. Vincent WONG  Countries in Pictures – Travel Talk Series Traveling to world’s ancient countries through talks and rich collections of pictures
ICELANDby Mr. Vincent WONG Located just below the Arctic Circle and lying on top of the Mid Atlantic Ridge, Iceland was formed by the combined action of an enormous mantel plume as well as divergent plate tectonic and rifting. The result is an island of active volcanism and geothermal activities further affected by its Arctic elements, including ice caps and glaciers. Apart from studying all the associated features, it is very interesting to review the love/hate relationship between Man and Mother Nature in this extremely beautiful and dynamic country.
Testimonials from participants of previous travel talks and study tours led by Vincent: “I have learnt a lot on this subject!” “Very comprehensive indeed. Thanks!” “Very useful guide for my future trip!” ”Now what I have seen makes much more sense. Thank you!”
