School Trips to Iceland

College and school visits to Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is the perfect destination to view nature's raw power. A vastly under-populated island, it offers students a unique opportunity to appreciate how mighty forces shape the earth;  geysers gush, waterfalls cascade, volcanoes rumble and glaciers grind their pathways through the mountains. In addition, you may be lucky enough to see the spectacular phenomenon of the Northern Lights!

On the Golden Circle Tour stops include the spectacular Gullfoss Waterfall, the surprising active geyser at the Geysir Geothermal Area, the Hveragerði Geothermal town built above a hot-spring field and the Þingvellir National Park which is the only place in the world where the Mid Atlantic Ridge can be observed above sea level.

You can take a ride in a monster 8-wheel-drive truck to the entrance of the Langjökull Ice Caves to explore the second largest glacier in Iceland from the inside. Also, visit the Blue Lagoon, a unique wonder of nature, with pleasantly warm mineral-rich geothermal water in a middle of a black lava field.  

Skaftafell National Park is one of Iceland's most outstanding areas of natural beauty dominated by the glacier Vatnajokull, Europe's largest ice cap and Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon is where huge icebergs float and grind together in the still, deep waters of the lagoon.

Finally, In Reykjavik, Hallgrímskirkja (Hallgrim's Church) is a must visit as being the tallest and most striking church in Iceland.

An Iceland school trip is truly a bespoke opportunity to enjoy geography which cannot be found anywhere else in the world, but is not just for geography students!
