Dave playing with his fisheye lens in Iceland

Hey Barb! Great pics. Looks like you have the best kind of job! What are you researching?

I'm studying rocks that erupted under the ice when Iceland was completely covered with an ice sheet. I'm looking in particular at the origin of fault-like structures that developed when the piles of subglacial volcanic debris collapsed as the eruption proceeded. No one's ever studied these structures before, so it's interesting and exciting (at least to a geologist!) and full of puzzles.
