Iceland: Land of Fire

Iceland: Land of Ice
Eleven percent of Iceland remains covered by glaciers. And although these titanic ice sheets recede every year, their tremendous power continues to change the landscape. Witness how the glaciers carve out fjords, valleys, and mountains, and lead to some of the world's most spectacular waterfalls.
High Tide at the Bay of Fundy
Mosses that tower 10 stories high and insects of horror-film proportions are part of the Bay of Fundy's peculiar ecosystem, which dates back hundreds of millions of years. With the highest tides on Earth, waves rip rocks off cliffs and reveal fossils that are vital to understanding the history of our planet.
