Students take the following courses:
- FYET-117 Fire and Ice: Exploring Iceland (1 credit)
Program Description:
Fire & Ice: Exploring Iceland will provide a more in-depth, hands-on look at the dynamic processes forming the island of Iceland and the native culture. We will explore active volcanoes, glaciers and other geomorphic features, taste local food and more. Key geologic activities include visits to active volcanoes and glaciers in two of Iceland’s National Parks and hikes to two waterfalls and a black pebble (volcanic) beach. A visit to a geothermal plant and a native fishing village will provide insight into how the Icelanders have learned to live in such a dynamic environment.
Students should be prepared to go on hikes to/on volcanic lava flows, pebble beaches and glaciers.
