Iceland Science School Trips & Tours
The ultimate playground for scientists, Iceland offers unique opportunities for pupils. Your group will experience everything from dramatic volcanic lunar landscapes and spouting geysers, to diverging plates and glaciers!
This ‘land of ice and fire’ well deserves its title! You can see both and much more, in the same field of vision. There is no better place to observe the ongoing impact of glaciation and vulcanicity: icefields, waterfalls and geothermal pools. Iceland also has a unique heritage and a style all of its own. To allow your pupils to get the most out of Iceland, our Field Studies Guides will add a wealth of knowledge and experience. We offer a range of school trips to Iceland.

Expert's comment
The land of fire and ice gives pupils first-hand experience of the hazards involved with living in the shadow of a volcano. It gives pupils a chance to experience a country where the geology, geography and culture are so interlinked it's impossible to talk about one without mentioning the other. From awe inspiring waterfalls, walking up to a glacier to black sand beaches, Iceland is the only place in the world you can stand on the mid Atlantic ridge - standing literally between the two continents!
