We will be based out of an AirBnB in the Akureyri area. Rooms will likely be double-occupancy. The AirBnB will have all of the comforts of home.

Can I carpool?

Yes. We highly encourage it and will help you arrange this with your teammates.

Will I meet my teammates before the trip?

Yes! We will host two Zoom meetings before departure to make sure everyone is on the same page and to answer any questions you may have. One meeting will be held several months before departure and the second will be approximately 1 week before departure.
