Gudrun Lara Palmadottir - Volcanologist

Gudrun Lara Palmadottir

Volcanologist

Gunna is a tour guide and travel planner in Iceland and, like many Icelanders, a folk musician on the side.

Gunna grew up in mountain huts and tents during the summer, travelling with her geologist mother, accompanying her on her research trips throughout the highlands of Iceland.

Whenever there was a volcanic eruption, the family would also go on an expedition. She therefore became a naturalist. Gunna has studied environmental science, geology, agriculture, plants, and birds and is now planning a PhD project in volcanology. Her experience includes working as a specialist for the Soil Conservation Service and the Environmental Agency of Iceland in national park management.
