Our Hike was followed by some misty views of a volcanic crater lake and another dip in some hydrothermal baths at Caldiera Velha, some Portuguese custard tarts and finally, a tour of the bacterial and geological formations in a lava tunnel

Team Science are in the Azores learning about its natural history. So far this morning we have learned about how banana trees are grown organically, how the island we are staying on formed and a project to deal with eutrophication at Lagoa das Furnas @RGSCoCurricular
