We are homeward bound! Just left Gatwick and on the coach, heading to the Westcountry. Students will update parents when we get nearer home in a few hours @HelesSchool
With a little sadness and a lot of memories, our last place of interest is done. Pingvellir National Park (Almannagja) for a nice gentle stroll and now back to the hotel. @HelesSchool @High_Heles
Then off to the Haukadalur Geothermal Area to see the Great Geyser. With only 5-6 minutes between each burst of water we didn’t have long to wait! @HelesSchool @High_Heles
Great visit to the Hellisheidi Geothermal Power Plant, safe to say that Mr Kelly was in his element. Next stop the Secret Lagoon! @HelesSchool @High_Heles
A few photos from the glacier walk yesterday. Lots of students pushing themselves out of their comfort zone and what a reward for doing so. Simply stunning! @HelesSchool @High_Heles

Sadly, no visible Aurora last night. 😣 Today we have started at the Lava, Volcano and Earthquake Centre. A great morning looking at how the volcanic activity has formed the landscape we see. @HelesSchool
Lava tunnel to round off an amazing first day exploring the wonderful island. Now off to our cottages with the wishes of clear skies and the Northern Lights. @HelesSchool @High_Heles
Incredible day so far… bridge between two continents, then the Gunnuhver geothermal area. Stopped at the beautiful coastline and then visited the eerily quiet town of Grindavik. Now off to the lava tunnels for selfies galore! @HelesSchool @High_Heles
Day 2 begins with a prize giving and brief from Mr Kelly on the day ahead. We are so privileged to spend this time with such an amazing bunch of young people - they’ve been amazing!
