They were on their way to Iceland. A country 33% larger than Serbia with a population of just 375,920. Known as the land of fire and Ice, the students were not disappointed. Opening the hotel curtains in the morning they were greeted with stunning Ocean views. This wasn’t a study tour for the weak of heart or spirit as they traversed waterfalls, climbed still heat radiating volcanoes and hiked to see glaciers. As well as braving and conquering the cold and walking in the windiest places in Europe (a lighthouse up a huge climb) they also spent time inside exhibitions and shows including the only live lava show in the world and the multi sensory flyover Iceland.

Day four saw students catch a ferry to Heimaey where they saw the devastation the eruption of 1973 caused. A visit to the national park and the mid Atlantic ridge was a fitting end to an incredible Geography study tour of Iceland.

The BIS Key Stage 3 students have recently visited the Spanish province of Andalusia, the chosen destination of their study tour this year.

During the trip they had an opportunity and pleasure to visit Pablo Picasso’s museum in Malaga, Granada’s most significant Moorish building, Alhambra, Saville’s royal Palace Alcazar, the Jewish quarter, the Cathedral and the Giralda. They also enjoyed visiting the Bioparc in Fuengirola, and the Aquarium in Benalmadena.

According to our students this study tour was by far the best one ever organised by the BIS. Everyone had great fun and learned a lot about Spain, its history and culture.
