Wednesday, August 20th, 2008
On Wednesday morning every student had to present his individual report at the whale museum's conference room. During the youth-camp all participants had to work on particular questions referring to the impact of global warming on their home town or country.
All the participants had focussed their efforts on these questions and produced very revealing reports, providing compelling arguments and interesting insights. Apart from that several groups had prepared project ideas and developed concepts to further promote measures to stop the emission of greenhouse gases at their schools. All of these materials will become part of a brochure which the participants will bring back to their schools.
At 12 o'clock the group finally boarded their bus at Húsavěk to start the long journey home. In bright sunny weather we were driven southwards and admired once more the beautiful scenery of Iceland.

 


The 528 km journey to Keflavik was only interrupted by small breaks to eat our packed lunches and at arriving at Reykjavik we received a hearty welcome at Arndis' parents home.
We enjoyed enormous amounts of various pizzas and wonderful Icelandic pancakes especially prepared for us by Arndis' mother and grandma. It was delicious. Thank you very much indeed!

Quite some of tears were shed when we had to leave behind Arndis, Sigga and Jennifer who was going to fly back to Gjoa Haven, Canada, via edmonton and Yellowknife from Keflavik the next day.
We then went on to Keflavik airport were we said good bye to our fabulous bus driver all saying farewell to him with a spontanous "wave".
After midnight, on Thursday morning at 00:25, the plane left Keflavik heading for Frankfurt where the group arrived at 5.50 a.m. local time. It was here in Frankfurt that the I.C.E.-Camp 2008 participants had finally to part and and say good bye during the day and fly home to their home countries.
