What We Do
This expedition combines geological observation, literary study, and cultural immersion across Iceland’s diverse landscapes: city of Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, glacial landscapes, volcanoes, waterfalls, literary heritage (sagas), and geothermal pools such as the Blue Lagoon. Benefits
Intellectual Integration: Connect geological processes, medieval literature, and contemporary environmental challenges into coherent understanding of how place shapes culture.Cross-Disciplinary Thinking: Explore how landscape influences storytelling, how isolation enables both preservation and innovation, and how small nations can exercise disproportionate influence.
Primary Source Engagement: Stand where historical events occurred such as the Alþingi’s founding site, Snorri’s writing location, the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit venue.
Experiential Learning: Navigate challenging weather, adapt to changing conditions, and discover how direct observation transforms understanding in ways that reading cannot replicate.
Cultural Context: Experience Iceland during March. This means fewer tourists, winter landscapes, northern lights potential, and more authentic interaction with Icelandic residents.
