We added a new country in 2019, when we circumnavigated Iceland on the small French cruise ship Le Boréal, with Kathy, Roy, Roger and Peg.  It was an active Backroads tour, arriving in a new port each day and lots of hiking to waterfalls, hot springs, mud pots, hydro and geothermal power plants, volcanoes, etc.  We also added to our list of latitude parallels by hiking to the Artic Circle on Grimsey Island.
