Exploring Iceland

Featuring faculty host: Assistant Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences, Dougal Hansen*

Discover a land shaped by fire and ice, where glaciers carve vast valleys and steam rises from geothermal fields. Iceland’s dramatic landscapes — thundering waterfalls, black-sand beaches, rugged coastlines, and volcanic plains — create an unforgettable backdrop for exploration. With a population smaller than many small cities, the island remains remarkably untouched, offering wide horizons and a sense of true remoteness. Traveling in a small group allows for a closer look at the country’s distinctive geology, abundant birdlife, and striking natural contrasts. From quiet fishing villages to otherworldly wilderness, experience Iceland’s raw beauty in a setting that feels both ancient and alive.
