Land of Ice and Fire

On Wednesday we completed our final detour of the race by traveling to Iceland. The racers became explorers in the tradition of the Vikings. After climbing into their ships they had to traverse a lagoon while avoiding treacherous icebergs. At the end of their journey they staked their claim on the new found land by planting their team flag.


While the explorers were on their journey other racers were busy creating Viking puppets and writing their names using runes which the Vikings believed possessed divine, magical powers. Lastly on their visit to the land of ice and fire, the racers made a volcano erupt with the help of a little baking soda and vinegar.
