During our winter sampling a few weeks back Wyatt, Lili, and myself were working on one of our warm streams near the town of Hveragerði. This stream is in sight of a popular hiking trail, and more times than not we find ourselves explaining who we are and what we are doing to at least one curious passerby, be it a local resident out for an afternoon walk or a tourist from afar exploring the geothermal features in the area. On this day, our obligatory inquiring minds were, themselves, scientists with Iceland Geosurvey,
Ísor. They happened to be sporting a fancy infrared camera and kindly offered to snap a few photos of us sampling and the surrounding area. The photos are pretty psychedelic and display the variability in geothermal heating across the landscape.

Thanks Christa and Martin. We are looking forward to coffee next time we are in the area.
