During half term an intrepid group of GCSE Geographers embarked on a memorable trip to Iceland where they made the most of many fantastic opportunities to explore both the art and science of Iceland’s unique geology. The trip got off to an amazing start at the group was treated to a wonderful display of the Northern Lights on the very first night!
Other highlights from this action-packed trip included: swimming in the Secret Lagoon, exploring the spouting hot springs of Geysir, marvelling at stunning waterfalls, undertaking a glacier walk, exploring a lava tunnel which was thousands of years old, as well as visiting volcanic beaches featuring magnificent basalt cliffs and caves. The students also enjoyed a fascinating visit to the world’s sixth largest Geothermal power plant and interactive displays at Iceland’s Volcano and Earthquake Centre, before rounding off the trip with a sight-seeing trip to the capital city of Reykjavik.
