Awesome day yesterday for @PrestatynHigh geographers visiting waterfalls, Reynishverfi black basalt beach and the finale was a hike on the #Sólheimajökull glacier.
We have now safely landed in Liverpool and are heading home tired and inspired #Iceland
The Raufarholshellir Lava Tunnels were spectacular as always, pupils learnt how lava tunnels form (this one is thought to be 5200 years old). The icicles added to nature’s beauty. Fantastic first day in Iceland @PrestatynHigh#Iceland#geographyfieldtrip
The final reward for James (Y10) winning the @DenbighshireCC ‘postcards from the future competition’ was an outing to the St. Asaph tree nursery. We’ve had a fun day taking hardwood cuttings, repotting tree cuttings, setting wildlife cameras and ecological surveys @PrestatynHigh
Okay: here’s everything you need to know about the new eruption in Iceland, including what is certain, what is uncertain, and all that jazz.
(I’ve got a few weeks of book leave left, but couldn’t leave y’all hanging.)

How do we measure shaking in an earthquake?
Magnitude measures the size of the quake - but how much shaking you feel depends on how close you are to the fault, the materials under your feet, and more.
Here is a map of shaking in the #TurkeySyriaEarthquake

The plastic harvests we’re projecting for System 03 are so big that we’re putting an excavator on the ship for handling & will be compressing the trash into bales to make it fit.
We’re over the moon that Wales will be introducing a Deposit Return Scheme by 2025 ♻️
The initiative will see us pay a small deposit when we buy a drink in a single use container, which we get back when we return the bottle or can 💚
