Iceland Trip

Published 24 April 2024

On 1 April, 40 geography students accompanied by Miss Brenton, Mr Langton, Mrs Roberts and Mr Wilder set of for Iceland to explore the country’s landscapes.

After landing, we went to the FlyOver Iceland experience, which was a virtual reality immersive tour around some of Iceland’s most impressive landscapes. After being a bit sceptical to begin with, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and said it was a brilliant way to start the trip. Over the course of the next three days, we experienced the best of South Iceland, travelling around the Golden Circle seeing amazing waterfalls and geysers, as well as a brilliant walk up to the Solheimajokull glacier.
