ITINERARY

CALLOUT

Discover the land of fire and ice while exploring how farmers, communities, and innovators adapt to one of the world’s most extreme environments. On this 10-day program, you’ll travel across volcanic landscapes, coastal fishing villages, glaciers, and fertile valleys while learning firsthand about sustainable farming, aquaculture, and resource use. Through farm stays, hands-on field visits, and conversations with local experts, you’ll see how Iceland balances tradition with cutting-edge innovation in food and agriculture. Beyond academics, you’ll soak in geothermal pools, visit puffin habitats, and experience the culture and resilience of rural Icelandic life.
