Overview

During this adventure-packed expedition*, students will be exploring all that Iceland has to offer. From geothermal pools to the Hellisheidi Power Plant, there is plenty to visit. When they are not checking out the attractions, they’ll be hiking across glaciers, witnessing the stunning scenery and getting stuck into some local community project work.

Iceland is possibly one of the most diverse countries in the world. In a single day, you can be sunning yourself by a serene lake and the next be plunged into a cold inhospitable environment that resembles the surface of the moon. The land of fire, ice and magic really does have it all.
