THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIAD, the annual competition which sets tough problems to some of the best high school students in the world, was held this year in Iceland. As befits the fire-and-ice locale, some of the problems involved finding the pressure under an ice cap, determining the results of lava intrusions into icefields, and the motion of superluminal radio jets, which can be thought of as the astrophysical equivalent of lava flows. The national teams with the greatest number of gold medals were China (5), Russia (3), and Korea, Poland, and Iran with one each. The U.S. team earned one silver medal (Andrew Lin, Wallingford, CT) and one bronze (Peter Onyisi, Exeter, NH).
