On Assignment Projects
Choose one of these On Assignment projects, and break into teams to delve further into your area of focus.
Photography
Capture images of gushing waterfalls, steaming fumaroles, and glaciers that stretch for miles, and develop a photo-essay on Iceland’s fascinating geology. Tell the story of Icelandic culture through portraits of fishermen, children, and scientists you meet. Hone your skills as you shoot pictures of Icelandic horses and puffins.
Climate & Geology
Delve into the science behind global climate change and thermodynamic energy. Initiate a GPS project to measure and map the recession of glacial tongues. Build a model glacier, or measure your group’s carbon footprint. Trek up a glacier with a professional guide to learn about glacial dynamics and morphology.
Filmmaking
Document your journey as part of a digital video-production team. Film receding glaciers, erupting geysers, and hissing volcanic steam vents. Interview local experts on the effect of climate change in this region, or film a day in the life of an Icelandic teenager. Use mobile-editing technology to produce a short film.
