Volcanoes and Geothermal Wonders
Sunday October 18th. 13:00 - 18:00
After the conference, join us for a journey through the dramatic landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula in ICE-SAR’s specially equipped Vehicles. Participants will be driven in these vehicles which are used in search and rescue operations. Visit the new lava fields near Grindavík, where ICE-SAR teams spent hundreds of hours responding to the recent volcanic eruptions.
The tour will also offer a closer look at the extraordinary protective barriers built around Grindavík and the Svartsengi area to divert lava flows and protect vital infrastructure.
The return journey takes us through the striking volcanic landscape of Krýsuvík, with a stop at its colourful geothermal area, bubbling hot springs and steaming vents.
Please bring warm, weatherproof clothing suitable for rain and/or snow, including a hat and mittens.
Registration and tickets. This tour is for preregistered participants (https://www.rescue.is/registration) and included in Golden Conference Pass. Tickets will be delivered with Conference Material upon arrival.
