Climate change is affecting Iceland’s landscape and ecology, and residents of Iceland are concerned about the survival of the Atlantic Puffin. The Atlantic Puffin are important to Iceland’s ecology and culture, but the population is being threatened by rising ocean temperatures and diminishing food supply. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.

A volcanologist explores the fiery landscape of Iceland. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
The Earth has many land formations such as mountains, plateaus, hills, and plains. These formations are created by movement of the earth’s plates, volcanoes, weather, and erosion. Part of the Real World Science series.
Geologists discuss the three tectonic collisions that created Europe. These forces continue to alter the continent's landscape. This episode examines the evidence of these changes found in Iceland and the Mediterranean Sea. Part of the "Voyage of the Continents" series.
Students will explore how the discoveries of specific fossils, the geographic fit of the continents, ocean floor magnetic fields, young ocean rocks, and seafloor spreading provide evidence to support the theory of plate tectonics. Footage from Iceland helps illustrate the power of tectonic movement. Other topics covered include continental drift, Pangaea, tectonic plates, plate boundaries, mountain building, folding, faulting, and landforms.
The geologic processes of mountain building, seafloor spreading and volcanoes are a few examples of the power of plate tectonics. Footage filmed on-location in Iceland, the Canadian Rockies, and Crater Lake help viewers understand the theory of plate tectonics. Colorful animations illustrate the movement of tectonic plates and the role this plays in the development of geologic features. Other terminology includes: theory of continental drift, mid-ocean ridge, plate boundaries, subduction, convergent boundary, and divergent boundary.
One day, microbes will eliminate dirt and garbage, filter exhaust systems, and help make self-cleaning clothing possible. Takes viewers on a global journey-from the U.S. to Iceland, Sweden, India, China, Senegal, and Australia-to meet the world's leading specialists in bacteriology and to discover the incredible abilities of the microscopic life-forms they study. Employs state-of-the-art imaging technology and animation to illustrate how bacteria have learned to adapt to harsh environments and how they can be found in a vast array of human-made products and materials, including medicines, pesticides, plastics, solvents, and even electroacoustic speakers.
