Over half term, our Year 10 and 11 Geography students embarked on an unforgettable adventure to Iceland. The trip gave students the chance to see first-hand the incredible landscapes and processes they’ve studied in class.
After an early start on the first day and a flight from Glasgow to Keflavik, the students spent the trip exploring lots of georgraphical wonders, such as the Bridge Between Two Continents, Gunnuhver geothermal mud pools, black sand beach and basalt columns, the Secret Lagoon, Thingvellir National Park, Solheimajökull glacier, Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Hellisheidi geothermal power plant, the Lava Centre and nearby active volcanoes, including Eyjafjallajökull, famous for its 2010 eruption. The students even got to see the Northern lights and the deepest October snowfall Reykjavik has ever recorded!
A huge thank you to Mr Ward and Mrs Ford-Hutchinson for organising this incredible experience. Our students returned with unforgettable memories and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
