July 25 to August 2, 2018 Round-Trip Air Included from Select Cities† Dear Graduates, Parents and Friends of Brown: Join us for this exploration of Iceland—a land of incredible natural wonder, where glittering glaciers cap simmering volcanoes, ancient Viking ruins exist alongside the latest in geothermal technology and prolonged melds into the lingering twilight. During our specially designed seven- circumnavigation of this Nordic island nation, experience a landscape of unimaginable scenery and encounter Iceland’s wondrous sights at close range. Cruise aboard the exclusively chartered, Five-Star, all-Suite Star Pride, with the ability to cruise into small ports inaccessible to larger vessels and to alter course as a kaleidoscope of wild, ethereal landscapes and mystery unfolds before you. Look for rare migratory birds, orcas and humpback whales; admire steaming geysers, rugged coastline and pristine beauty; and touch ice fragments calved from one of Europe’s largest glaciers. Visit Grímsey Island, crossing into the Circle, and cruise up close to Surtsey, one of ’s youngest islands and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore the rocky vista of a former lava lake and marvel at Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods.” Don’t miss this unforgettable adventure through the wonders of Iceland, featuring included round-trip air from Boston, New York-JFK, Newark and Washington-Dulles. Low Air Add-Ons are also available from Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis and Seattle.± We will share this departure with alumni and friends from several other schools, including the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania, and space is limited.

Beth Goldman Galer ’88 Director of the Alumni Travel Program Faculty Lecturer On this program, as on all Brown Travelers programs, a Brown faculty member will present lectures and lead discussions that will enhance your educational experience. As this brochure goes to press, the faculty representative who will accompany the program has not yet been confirmed. But we wanted to mail this brochure in time for you to make plans to participate. All Brown lecturers share a love for both teaching and travel. Their presence ensures that Brown-sponsored journeys are not only pleasant travel experiences but also intellectually rewarding. ±Included airfare and Low Air Add-Ons have limited availability and are not guaranteed. L AND of FIRE and ICE A land of unparalleled geological riches, Iceland is comprised of 4500 square miles of glaciers, 15 active volcanoes, 10,000 waterfalls and 800 hot springs. Born of the monumental forces unleashed during the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and at the same time carved out by majestic glaciers, the land is a combination of intense natural energy and veritable calm. The topography of Iceland as we know it continues to evolve, yet many of its landscapes have hardly changed since the first Viking settlers saw it more than 1100 years ago. During your circumnavigation, see volcanic craters and fissures; watch as bubbling hot springs send steam into the air against a backdrop of -like terrain; encounter snowcapped mountains and black lava desert; and come upon pristine, powerful waterfalls and the deep freeze of mammoth ice caps. Along the coast, Iceland’s characteristic fjords—deep inlets cut into the coastline— chronicle the pathways of its glaciers. All of these natural wonders are in constant flux, as glaciers calve and shift and new mountains emerge from volcanic lava flow. The result is a startlingly beautiful portrait of Earth in process—a raw, primordial landscape hewn by the forces of fire and ice.
