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!
