Grótta beach
We explore various organisms on the beach, sift through seaweed, and look for crabs and other small creatures. We examine seaweed and more on a fun beach trip in Grótta, where there is a diverse animal, bird, and plant life.
Ólafur Patrick Ólafsson, a biology teacher at UI and science communicator, will lead the tour along with biology students at the university.
The tour is a part of the Hiking Trips with Science Tips series (Með fróðleik í fararnesti), an award-winning collaborative project organised by the Iceland Touring Association and the University of Iceland.
Participants are encouraged to dress according to the weather. Wellingtons and buckets are essential, and don't forget a little something to nibble on during the tour.
The tour takes around 2 hours.
Participation is free of charge, and everyone is welcome. No need to book - simply show up!
Meeting point: Parking lot next to the Grótta lighthouse at 12.00.
