October took me to Iceland with Anturus with the aim, as ever, of creating as much content for schools as possible. Iceland is a fascinating country, science wise. It’s 11% covered in rapidly melting ice, powered almost completely by geothermal energy, rising out of the sea at a couple of inches a year and sat on top on the Mid Atlantic Rift. Volcanic eruptions and small earthquakes are commonplace and have become nothing more than a mild inconvenience to the locals.
Our trip produced heaps of content including practical activities for schools and 360 videos at some of Iceland’s most amazing natural wonders. Take a look here.

Hot, much?
Where does the compulsion to throw coins at water come from?

At world's end. Next stop Antarctica, 10,000 miles away.

Wool advert, anyone?
Viv. Thrilled with the weather, clearly.
Skype in the Classroom on Diamond Beach. The weather was not in our favour.
@huwmjames exploring crevasses on the Solhiemjokul glacier in southern Iceland. It's worrying to think that in less that two centuries all of Iceland's glaciers may vanish.
