6th Form trip to Iceland, October/November 2007

Geography Fieldtrip to Iceland

31 U6th students and 3 staff spent 5 days in Iceland, the "land of ice and fire". Two nights were spent in Reykjavik, one in a luxurious 4-star hotel on the south coast and one night at a very comfortable farm guesthouse. The weather was very mixed and so sadly we were unable to skidoo on one of the glaciers but we still enjoyed a fantastic week of physical and human geography experiences. The group were great fun to be with and they had a memorable trip. Plans are in place for a 7th visit in 2008!
