SIT Study Abroad: Iceland: Climate Change and the Arctic

Study the impact of climate change on Arctic ecosystems and societies while exploring Iceland’s dramatic landscapes. Visit renewable energy centers, glaciers, volcanoes, fjords, geothermal fields, and rugged coastlines to understand climate change causes and effects. Travel to the remote Westfjords to observe the impact of global warming on glaciers and ice sheets. Learn about climate models, carbon management, and renewable technologies, and live with an Icelandic family in Ísafjörður while conducting fieldwork and outdoor study.

Please visit the SIT Study Abroad website for details on the program highlights and details of coursework, educational excursions, and housing.

HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT

"While traveling throughout the country, I learned so much about Icelandic culture from both the program's admins and the locals in each town we visited. Additionally, I learned an incredible amount from the other students on the program. I feel that the value of a program like this is less textbook learning and more experiential learning you would be unable to experience elsewhere."
