Day Three - Coasts, Missile Carrier and Waterfalls



Yesterday was another stunning day in Iceland. We started bright and early and headed to Dyrholaey headland. Let's just say we enjoyed some strong headwinds!  After the students had acclimatised we headed to meet our ten wheel drive truck and headed up the Thórsmörk valley. This is where Eyjafjallajökull's glacial outburst flood caused havoc in 2010, destroying glaciers and changing the landscape forever.


We had a great time exploring some of the canyons and having snow ball fights.


The final stop of the day was Seljalandsfoss, a gorgeous waterfall that wriggles over a high basalt cliff.  We all got to walk behind this (with the Year 11 Geographers getting some much needed revision) before heading to our over night stay at Vatnsholt farm where we got to meet the Arctic Foxes and other animals.
