Geography Study Trip to Iceland

Study Trip Overview
What better way to start the year than a trip to Iceland? From the hot springs at Geysir to Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Iceland’s varied and stunning landscape makes it a firm favourite for geography enthusiasts. Rugby school raced along the Black Basalt Beaches in Super Jeeps, took a dip in the secret lagoon, explored Reykjavik and even caught a glimpse of the phenomenal northern lights.
They tackled learning about climate change, glacial systems, volcanic and tectonic activity with ease. Raj Ghosh from Rugby School said, “Our final waterfall, Skogafoss, sees you climb 429 steps to the top. A great example of emergent landforms due to isostatic land rebound. The cliffs that the waterfall falls over, used to be marine cliffs!” Students shared photos of these geographical wonders on our travel app and Twitter.
Before turning in for the night, our final activity is a walking tour of Reykjavík and an insight into the economic shift from fishing to finance and the importance of tourism in Icelands recovery. pic.twitter.com/nXG0gLriyJ
