Introduce your students to the worlds beyond Europe and South America! Take them to Asia and show them ancient religious traditions, coexisting with the emerging industrial power centers in China and neighboring countries. Or travel to the “land down under” to visit Indigenous cultures like the Maori in New Zealand. Want to explore a country that’s like no other? Visit the Nordic island of Iceland and explore its dramatic landscape of natural wonders like geysers, hot springs, and lava fields!
