The Geology and Archaeology Programs at MJC journeyed to Italy and Switzerland in July of 2007! We had the chance to see many of the famous tourist sights, but we also journeyed through some of the most stunning geology to be found anywhere in the world. Here our intrepid travelers stand on the shores of Lake Lucerne in Switzerland...
