Exploring in Bonaire
Jan. 19, 2026
The students of the J-Term Geology of Bonaire courses have experienced amazing geology and marine ecology in just the first week on the Caribbean island! They've hiked the highest peak in all of the Netherlands, clambered over ancient volcanic columnar jointed mountain outcrops, gained their sea legs and performed backward rolls off the boat for dives to see sea turtles, flounder, ray, barracuda and arrays of brilliantly colored fish and coral, learned about coral reef restoration and propagation during presentations and then leapt into the ocean and snorkeled out to those coral nurseries for a hands-on view, and witnessed exotic nocturnal creatures in magical nighttime tidal pool walks!
