      1. I’m sure many of you heard about Nate Silver during the last election. He studied abroad at the London School of Economics, one of UIC Study Abroad’s most prestigious affiliations! They also have pretty amazing scholarships, so why not be more like Nate Silver?!?

        1. Day 3 Continued..  These are at Fox Glacier, which was roughly a 35 minutes tramp up to the viewing area.  It’s amazing how the glacier gets smaller and smaller each year.  There was a sign for back in 1750 the glacier was way past the car park.  We were about 200 metres from the glacier and it was really neat!  Once we were back at the car park, we drove off to Franz Joseph Glacier, which we were able to get a lot closer to on foot.  We had lunch there.
