Iceland Trip - The Land of Fire and Ice

Student from Ferryhill School embarked on an adventurous trip to Iceland made possible by the Turing Scheme.

The students explored the natural wonders of this wonderful land, from natural hot springs and geysers, to wonderful waterfalls. We saw recent changes to the landscape, and saw how volcanic activity causes difficulties for humans.

On our first day, students took a rejuvenating dip in the Blue Lagoon-soothing waters and renowned relaxation techniques helped us recover from a very early flight.

Students immersed themselves in the mesmerising Lava Show, a unique experience that showcases the volcanic wonders of this remarkable region.

Soaring over virtual skies, we witnessed the beauty of Iceland’s picturesque surroundings and scenic locations on the Flyover Iceland attraction.

Students went on a Golden Circle tour ending with the stunning golden waterfall at Gullfoss. The sound of the water flowing over at 110 cubic metres a second was deafening. You could hear it from quite a distance away.
