Year 13 Iceland trip 🇮🇸 All boarded and just waiting for the flight to depart ✈️ much excitement… looking forward to seeing some snow ❄️

Landed safely and onto our coach. Very cold and lots of snow but looks like it will be a beautiful sunset 🌅

Bridge between 2 continents - it’s cold but stunning scenery and geography in action

Day 2 Iceland trip. First stop lava tunnel to see how they are formed. Next stop Secret Lagoon.

Fantastic day! After lunch we made it to the secret lagoon and then visited one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. On the way back to our hotel we stopped at Kerid crater. 🌋

How could we forget the Geyser! Day 3 and we are off along the south coast of Iceland stopping for more iconic waterfalls and our glacier walk after lunch.

Day 3 Iceland highlights (part 1 - as there are so many) Skogafoss waterfall, the small Icelandic town of Vik and the black beach and caves at Reynosfjara. With the snow pretty much melted, it was a glorious day.

Day 3 Iceland highlights (part 2) after lunch we completed a glacier walk where students were able to transverse the ice. We then visited a waterfall at Seljalandsfoss where students could walk behind the waterfall.

Day 3 highlights (part 3) for our last night in Iceland 🇮🇸 students took part in a geography and Iceland related quiz whilst being entertained by a number of talented musicians on the piano.

Day 3 final spectacular!! Northern lights got the memo it was our last night and gave us an amazing display 🥰

Day 4. - our Icelandic adventure comes to an end with a trip to the geothermal power station and a fantastic close up look at how magma is formed at Reykjavik lava show. An amazing, informative end to a once in a lifetime trip to Iceland- the home of 🔥 and 🧊

Iceland 🇮🇸 - homeward bound. We are all a little bit sad to be leaving such a wonderful place. We have had an amazing trip: the students have been fantastic and have embraced all the experiences on offer. It’s truly the country where the geography keeps on giving 🌋🤩

All boarded and getting ready for take off. Flight on time and still planning to be back at school by 9.30 as planned. We will further update when we land at Heathrow.
