Our recent Geography trip to Iceland gave pupils an unforgettable opportunity to witness some of the world’s most dramatic natural landscapes and powerful geological forces in action.
A favourite stop was the Secret Lagoon, a natural hot spring where pupils enjoyed a relaxing dip surrounded by geothermal steam. At Gullfoss, one of Europe’s most powerful waterfalls, the group took in breathtaking views from the gorge’s edge.
At Pingvellir, pupils stood at the meeting point of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, learning how the Mid-Atlantic Ridge has shaped the landscape.
The South Shore adventure included a visit to a geothermal power plant and greenhouses growing tomatoes using natural energy — a brilliant example of sustainable living. The day ended with visits to Iceland’s iconic waterfalls, including a favourite of the girls’ which you could walk behind. An unforgettable trip full of geography in action!
