Geography Study Courses to Iceland & Germany
Our Icelandic Geography Course is based in Reykjavik. This fascinating tour is a must for all geographers. See the effects of plate tectonics on the Mid Atlantic Rift, bathe in the Blue Lagoon surrounded by the lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula and visit the Geysir area.
Our German Geography Course is based in The Rhine. This area has always been one of Europe’s major arteries, rising in the Swiss Alps, and flowing majestically to the North Sea. River traffic is constant and varied with enormous industrial barges, pleasure craft and the big river cruisers. On its banks are delightful vineyards and medieval castles built on crags. The towns and villages along the route are full of charm and make great centres for our language and geography courses.
