Brace yourself for an epic adventure in the land of fire and ice! Iceland summer programs offer high school and college students a chance to experience the raw beauty and unique activities this otherworldly country has to offer.
You can study in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital city, and stroll its vibrant streets buzzing with trendy shops and a lively nightlife scene. For the eco-conscious traveler, some programs incorporate opportunities to volunteer in conservation efforts, helping to protect Iceland’s pristine environment.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. Trade cityscapes for breathtaking natural wonders as you embark on a journey across fjords, dramatic coastlines, and glaciers. Or kayak to a shipwreck and explore its secrets, test your snorkeling skills in the Silfra fissure’s crystal-clear waters where you can dive between American and Europe’s tectonic plates. Hike through the Dimmurborgir Lava Forest, spot puffins nesting on the cliffs, or meet an Icelandic horse — a breed known for its unique five-gaited stride.
If you want to venture beyond the ordinary, a summer program in Iceland might be the perfect choice for you.
