Explore the spectacular geology and scenery of Iceland in a virtual field trip led by Kirt Kempter, who has led more than 30 tours to the country. The recent eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula has signaled a new chapter in volcanic activity on the island, and Kempter explores its future implications.
He also discusses the boundary between North American and Eurasian plates; unusual volcanoes that form beneath vast glaciers; famous volcanoes, including Hekla and Surtsey; and historic eruptions that impacted global climate and human populations. The presentation uses maps, photographs, diagrams, and Google Earth to highlight the key geologic features that make Iceland a bucket-list destination for all geologists.
