A Virtual Geological Field Trip to Iceland

Patrick Colgan, Northeastern University


This virtual field trip to Iceland explores the glacial, volcanic, and cultural and environmental history of the island. Users select a field trip topic and choose between a two day, one week, or two week expedition. Each field trip provides objectives for learning, background reading, and site 'visits' through a collection of photographs and mini-lectures. Students are encouraged to take notes and quizzes are offered at the conclusion of the two day field trips. The site also features glossaries of geologic terms and Icelandic words.
