Teaching Geography. April 1999 On the surface this CD-ROM provides a multimedia guide to Iceland, however there are several sections of material that deal with general aspects of geographical processes, for example, plate movement and volcanic activity. The compact disk is divided into a number of sections: a Country profile, Geology, Volcanic activity, Geothermal activity, Glaciation, The work of water, Coastal features, Economic activity and a map. As with most other Matrix Multimedia products the compact disk has a hierarchical structure with each section further sub-divided, for example the Country profile is sub-divided into physical, human, history timeline and tourist information. The content includes text, high quality images, animations of geographical processes (with voice-over) and a number of video clips, e.g. of volcanic eruptions and impressive waterfalls. All the resources can be found on the CD-ROM and whilst running can be copied onto the clipboard and transferred into other software. There is a search function and help facility and the software will allow the user to nominate their regular word processing and painting packages. The compact disk comes with ten worksheets that can be loaded into a word processor or printed out and range from a general introduction sheet to a data response question on the geology of Iceland.

Introduction Iceland as a country is an unrivalled location for studying several subjects within Geography. As it lies on the boundary of the continental plates it is perfect for studying Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and geothermal energy. The country's low temperature means that the island has hundreds of glaciers including the enormous Vatnajökull glacier. With the Iceland CD ROM we have taken an opportunity to tie several geographic themes into a place context. The areas of study include Physical Geography, Human Geography,Glaciation, Vulcanology, Economics, Geology, Geothermal energy and coastal and river erosion. Worksheets and Supervisors' notes are included. Now Available - Iceland Demo Demos/Shareware Page Screen Grabs The following screen grabs will give you a better feel for how the package works.

Pulse of the Planet "Iceland is an adventure," said Sol Squire of Ultima Thule, an Icelandic company that organizes sea kayak expeditions and other adventure trips. "We have Europe's biggest glaciers, active volcanoes, cave explorations, and skiing." Since it derives much of its energy from geothermal hot springs and burns relatively little fossil fuel, Iceland also has some of the cleanest air in the world.

Home News Summer 2003 Press Releases Easter 2004 ... Lent 2003 Geography Field Trip to Iceland On 21st April, a small but enthusiastic group of Geographers and two staff left Heathrow on what was for many their first visit to Iceland. Geologically speaking, Iceland is one of the youngest land masses in the world and the most volcanically active. Nowhere on earth are the forces of nature more evident as glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, icecaps, waterfalls and vast lava deserts vie for the visitor's attention. On the next two days, the group travelled east, crossing the vast basaltic lava plateaus of southern Iceland. Underground lava tubes were explored, the impressive black and white Solheimajokull glacier visited, the strange black basaltic beach at Dyrholaey was photographed, whilst the active volcano, Hekla, was always within sight. Sadly, thick cloud cover all week meant that the 'northern lights' were hidden from view, but the highlight for many in the group was the final day when minke whales and porpoises were spotted on the whale-watching trip and the world famous spa, 'the blue lagoon', was visited on the way to the airport.

Research undertaken as part of the Earthwatch-funded expeditions to Iceland has been examining the legacy of this event. In addition, a smaller but no less significant jökulhlaup from the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap at Sólheimajökull in 1999 provided an opportunity to examine the immediate impact of an unexpected volcanically-triggered flood. Finally, the potential for giant catastrophic jökulhlaups to inundate land in the north of Iceland has led more recently to field research at the northern margin of Vatnajökull. The specific details associated with each of these projects are outlined further below.

Greenland and the Icecap GREENLAND country facts As almost anyone knows, Greenland is the biggest island in the world, 2.175.000 km², it streches from 60° to 83°40' North; i.e. 2600 km long, the most northern point (Odaaq, a tiny island) is only about 700 km away from the geographical northpole). Why Green land? It is not fully clear why Greenland is called that way; Iceland would have been a more suitable name for it. Maybe it is due to the fact that during the 8th century some exiles from Iceland went to an at that time unknown country with a harsh climate. But to make the officials in Iceland more or less jealous they said they lived in a wonderful green country. Others say that Erik the Red, who went there from Iceland around 980 (in exile after being accused of murder), called it Greenland to attract new inhabitants. Maybe it is true. There is also an other, more scientifical, explanation. It is true that before the year 1500 there was a milder climate in Greenland, in almost the whole northern hemisphere. So Greenland could have been more greener than it is today. After 1500 till 1800 there has been the called Short Ice-age. Temperatures dropped heavily, especially in Greenland; it dropped so low, that inhabitants from abroad, Normans, starved to death. The third explanation is simple. The most southern part is in fact very green, you will find sheepfarms and a lot of green grass. It is not that strange, knowing that the southern tip lies at the same geographical height as Oslo (Norway) and St. Petersburg (Russia)

Independent for over 300 years, Iceland was subsequently ruled by Norway and Denmark. Fallout from the Askja volcano of 1875 devastated the Icelandic economy and caused widespread famine. Over the next quarter century, 20% of the island's population emigrated, mostly to Canada and the US. Limited home rule from Denmark was granted in 1874 and complete independence attained in 1944.
