The packed itinerary enabled students to appreciate not only the immense beauty of the landscape, but to view some of the most outstanding physical geography features of anywhere on the planet.

Whilst unexpectedly mild weather prevented first-hand sighting of the Aurora Borealis, students’ curiosity for natural phenomena was nevertheless satiated by viewing of volcanic mountains, glaciers, canyons, geysers, awesome waterfalls, the atmospheric black beach of Vik, not to mention the ultimate swim in the warm, therapeutic, mineral rich waters of the Blue Lagoon.

In addition, Fort Hill College’s PTA funded a visit to Iceland’s historical culture museum along with a visit to natural hot springs, where students were quick to grab the opportunity to boil eggs in the springs.

A shopping spree in Reykjavik served as the grand finale to what was a superb educational trip that is anticipated to become a regular event in the calendar of Fort Hill College.
