Iceland: Land of Fire and Ice
Go Learn

Join us on an Icelandic adventure to explore the island’s iconic volcanoes, rivers, waterfalls, glaciers and beaches. On this 12-day adventure we’ll take in the natural beauty of the island, and learn about the formation of these features from Holly Godsey, University of Utah geologist. Holly’s enthusiasm is infectious, and you’ll soon find yourself excited by diverging tectonic plates, active geysers, and glacial lagoons. We’ll also explore the history and culture of Iceland, and discuss its modern energy production and farming techniques. Join us on this unique, focused tour, and learn about why Iceland is the land of fire and ice.
