ICELAND

First-time visitors in Iceland often say it’s like “being on another planet” - the volcanic terrain and glacial landscape make it feel like few other places on Earth. This unique geography can fuel new ideas about sustainability, energy, climate change, and the way that Icelandic culture and storytelling have evolved out of the land.

Atlas loves bringing students to Iceland to help them connect with this dynamic place and dive into questions about environmental issues, scientific research, and the relationship between humans and nature. Our growing hub in Reykjavik helps foster ongoing partnerships with local organizations, and gives students a base to develop insights and projects based on their experience.
