We’re always in for a volcanic treat when we visit Italy and our 2024 trip did not disappoint! Staring in Naples and making our way down to Sicily we visited many wonderful volcanic sites and world-class archaeological remains. Our photo diary is a chance to share some of our favourite photos of this most beautiful and interesting of destinations.
In January 2025, we ran our “Ocean Crust & Mountains of Mantle” trip in Oman for the seventh time. Our group were treated to an itinerary which included snowball earth deposits, mega sheath folds, ophiolite, moho and much, much more. As well as enjoying the world-class geology, we also experience warm Omani hospitality, making this a trip to remember!
Our third “Alpine Adventure” tour set off from Geneva in July 2024. The group travelled through the stunning scenery of the Swiss Alps, seeing many world-famous geological sites and learning about the science behind their formation. This post showcases 50 of the best photos from the trip.
Mid-June 2024 saw the 10th running of our ever-popular Scotland trip. We had a great time exploring some wonderful, world-class geological sites, but this post focuses on the wildlife we saw – and includes a bonus geology video at the end! Previous trip diaries have more photos of the geological sites if you wish to browse those.
On home ground once again, we took a group of geology enthusiasts on a tour of England & Wales. In 11 full touring days, we visited a wide variety of sites from almost all of the geologic time periods. Here are some of the best photos from the trip.
We enjoyed a return visit to Germany in October 2023 to visit world-class fossil sites and volcanic landscapes. Our group enjoyed a tour which started and ended in Frankfurt, taking in a variety of sites on the way! This is the day-by-day trip diary with a selection of the best photos.
Once again, we enjoyed a geological tour of the Canary Islands in the winter sun! The tour started on Tenerife, with time also spent on La Gomera and La Palma. There were many highlights, but standing on the summit of Mount Teide is hard to beat! This is a day-by-day account of our trip.

This is a photo record of our trip.
