Environmental Intern - Iceland

Environmental Internship – Reykjavik, Iceland

Ready to turn your summer into an expedition?

Imagine spending time in Iceland exploring volcanic landscapes, glacier-fed waterfalls, black sand beaches, and vibrant Nordic culture — all while conducting real-world research that will be published in Iceland’s first-ever naturalist and trails magazine.

This isn’t a typical internship. It’s a field-based research adventure designed for curious, driven students who want to stand out.

What You’ll Do

Join a Research Expedition in Reykjavik

Work alongside a dedicated field research team conducting on-the-ground environmental and cultural investigation in one of the most environmental fascinating places on Earth.

Conduct Meaningful Field Research

Dive deep into:

Volcanic geology and dramatic landscapes

Wildlife and conservation efforts

The impacts of tourism on fragile ecosystems

Trail systems and outdoor recreation

Publish Your Work

Transform your field discoveries into compelling, publication-ready articles that will educate and inspire global travelers.

You won’t just observe Iceland — you’ll interpret it.

Build Real Skills
Develop field research, cultural analysis, environmental reporting, and professional writing skills that employers value.
