Itchen’s Geography, Environmental Studies, Travel & Tourism and Leisure students enjoyed an amazing “West Coast Experience” when they jetted off to the USA for an unforgettable learning experience.

Landing in Las Vegas, the students spent twelve days travelling across the South Western states of America visiting some of the most breathtaking environments in the world. Learning Area Manager for Geography & Travel courses, Melanie Lockheart, said “This was an incredibly varied and exciting trip for our students & they experienced a range of different environments, both man-made and natural wonders. We visited 3 of the most iconic US National Parks – the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the desert landscapes of Death Valley, California, and the stunning glaciated mountain landscapes of Yosemite, California. For our AS Geography students, California is a compulsory case study of a hazard hotspot and our A2 Geography students are studying the San Andreas fault, which both San Francisco and Los Angeles are situated on, in their Tectonic Activity module”.
