It's not a secret. Many people want to visit Iceland – and many do.

From 1996 until today, the number of yearly visitor arrivals multiplied by a factor of 10. In the year 1996 about 200,000 tourist arrivals were registered. In 2017, for the first time, over 2 million arrivals were recorded within one year.

This calls for responsible, sustainable and educated travels. When planning and booking your trip, integrate as many sustainability and educational components as possible. This podcast episode / blog article helps you to get started with your responsible and conscious Iceland adventure.

Do you believe time traveling is possible? No? I challenge that!

Rocks and fossils tell the million and billion year old stories of Earth and landscapes. But you don't speak "Rock-ish"? Not a problem!

Geologists are rock- and landscape translators. When you go on a tour with a geologist, they'll explain to you the scenery in front of you and translate what the rocks say in words you understand.

James Cresswell, owner and founder of GeoWorld Travel, is such a geologist, adept at telling the stories of rocks and landscapes so that you, the traveler, understands. GeoWorld Travel is a tour operator specializing in geology trips.

• Who James is and why he established GeoWorld Travel
• What parts of the world James traveled prior to founding GeoWorld Travel
• What destinations James offers
• How long his geo trips are
• What travelers gain from booking a tour with James
• Why learning about the geology of a destination is enriching
• Why traveling is important
• How James deals with feeling guilty about operating a travel company
• How grasping geologic time has influenced James's outlook on life and his decisions
