On August 8-12, our team ventured to Iceland, and thus our fifth continent: Europe. The team of 15 was made up of five patients, a myeloma doctor, and seven caregivers. This group took on Iceland‘s otherworldly, challenging landscape These two-and-a-half days of challenging and spectacular hiking included an assortment of geologic marvels, including volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, hot springs, gorges, lava beds, waterfalls and, of course, mountains. Geothermal activity in the form of steam and green and yellow sulfur coming from the rocks we passed, coupled with the topography, made this mountainous hike otherworldly. It included 7-8 hours of rigorous hiking, daily, with our end-of-day destination being mountain huts situated in incredible settings. This hike is sometimes called “Fire and Ice” because on any given day you hike up lava fields and volcanoes, and then alongside stunning glaciers.
