Kate Clover took us on a brief fieldtrip to Iceland where she collected sands from the coast and from the interior highlands while on a geology fieldtrip. We also saw a little Iceland travelogue as a bonus. In addition, we learned about the results of analysis of some Galapagos sand as well as a little about the sand and geology of the Galapagos.  Click here for more information.
