Why Science in Iceland?
Iceland has always been seen as the preserve of the Geographers and Geologists – well not any longer!
We are delighted to announce that we have put together some science itineraries and biology itineraries for all our budding scientists. Iceland offers a wealth of scientific opportunities for studying in the field. Whether you are looking for the elusive solar wind particles colliding with molecules from the earth’s atmosphere that is the Northern Lights, or witnessing the fast growing patterns that the midnight sun causes during the months of 24 hour sunlight, Iceland is a fascinating living laboratory.
With sustainable and renewable energy high on the agenda - witness how Iceland is using the natural forces at its disposal, both hydro and geothermal energy or perhaps enjoy an amazing dip in the geothermal Blue Lagoon.
Really bring the textbook alive with trips to hot springs, visit the incredible rift valley of Thingvellir, and see the faults and fissures that the physical movement of the earth has created and is still creating. Combine this with the geysers, hot springs, and the icy glaciers and formulate your own ideas on how climate change is affecting Iceland.
A visit for a scientist to Iceland will be an unforgettable experience giving students that personal experience that really informs their writing in the all important exams.
