Happy #EarthDay from beneath the shadow of Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. 💚 This view reminds me daily how lucky I am to be surrounded by Iceland’s raw, pure nature and inspires me to protect it. 🌎🩵🌱

It’s finally really happening so exciting! The Apollo crew also came to Iceland and my mom was a stewardess and got to meet all the astronauts. #Artemis 🌕
As our #Artemis II crew prepares for their historic trip around the Moon, they recently took a trek across the Icelandic landscape to build their skills in geology: go.nasa.gov/4exMg9k

Iceland is basically closed today and Reykjavík is a ghost town - all white, no cars on the road. It looks peaceful now but things are about to get crazy ☃️🌬️❄️
