A cross-posting from my Fieldnotes from Iceland blog.
Discover the World has made available a new resource.
Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula has awakened after more than 800 years. Since the first eruption in March 2021, numerous fissures have opened across five locations, heavily affecting the town of Grindavík.
This FREE image bank can be used as a springboard to teach students how fissure eruptions develop, the hazards associated with these eruptions and the steps taken to mitigate these threats and protect local communities.
Featuring high-quality images which highlight key aspects of the activity, this resource tells the story of the eruptions. The resource includes:
- 43 high-quality images from our photographer in destination
- The volcanic history and geological setting of the peninsula
- Maps of the eruption sites
- Images highlighting the evolution of these eruptions
- Additional images on the impacts to humans and infrastructure
- Questions for students to discuss and debate
- Classroom activities to deepen their learning
This resource includes a variety of images and activities to cover multiple lessons, allowing you to delve deep into tectonic processes and their impacts on humans, bringing real-world learning to your classroom.
