Explore the magnificent landscapes, remote islands, ancient settlements and idyllic villages of Norway and northern Scotland, with Williams Professor of Natural Science Emeritus Markes Johnson and Geosciences Research Associate Gudveig Baarli, as our group cruises at the height of summer when sunlight extends late into the evening.

Much more than a cursory introduction, this varied and balanced itinerary takes us from Aberdeen to the Shetland Islands, then far up the Norwegian Coast above the Arctic Circle to Tromsø. The cruise is bookended with two days each in some of the region’s most remote and inaccessible island groups—Scotland’s Shetland Islands and Norway’s Lofoten Islands; both feature splendid wild landscapes as well as fascinating remains of ancient settlements.

In addition to the must-see fjord networks of Norway, we also call at Rosendal for live demonstrations of Norway’s traditional shipbuilding, embark on the dramatic Flåm Railway train, visit the lovely fjord capital of Bergen and explore its well-preserved Hanseatic wharf district, and take in the Art Nouveau architecture in the impossibly scenic port of Ålesund.

Throughout this special itinerary, there will be ample time to relax and enjoy the summer days in delightful towns and natural settings, as well as myriad opportunities to learn from our expert faculty study leaders through formal lectures and field commentary.

We hope you will consider joining this one-of-a-kind exploration through the Shetland Islands and Norway, offering a well-paced itinerary, excellent per day value, and elegant shipboard accommodations on the Hebridean Sky.

S T U D Y L E A D E R S

Professor Emeritus Markes Johnson taught courses in paleontology and historical geology at Williams College for 35 years before retirement in 2012. Since first meeting his geologist spouse Gudveig Baarli during a 1981-82 sabbatical in Norway, the couple has returned to Scandinavia most summers. They have served as hosts on previous alumni trips from Scotland to Norway, stopping in the Orkney and Shetland islands. This trip brings us well above the Arctic Circle to the enchanted shores of coastal islands and skerries, not to mention world-famous fjords. Lectures will focus on geological clues relating to the separation of Scotland and Scandinavia from North America and the birth of the modern Atlantic Ocean. But the mythology of trolls in the fanciful origin of Nordic islands also will be considered, as well as the colorful cultural history of the northlands belonging to the Ultima Thule. Topics will be drawn from Prof. Johnson’s pending book on “Islands in Deep Time.” Markes holds a 2011 Nelson Bushnell Prize from the College for excellence in scholarship and teaching.

Gudveig Baarli grew up in a small village north of Norway’s capital city, Oslo. Early on, she began collecting fossils from outcrops in her neighborhood and what began as a hobby developed into an advocation. She earned a Ph.D. in paleontology from the University of Oslo in 1988, and she is the author of the dual English / Norwegian language “Fossil Book” published in 2008 as a guidebook to southern Norway. Gudveig (pronounced like the “good way” but with a “v” instead of a “w”) makes at least one annual trip home to Norway and continues with independent research on Norway’s geology. She also is a font on knowledge about the history and culture of Norway.

Paul Bracken, Professor of Management and Political Science at Yale University, specializes in global business and international security and is a respected thought leader in global competition and the strategic application of technology in business and defense. He is a leading teacher in executive education, a consultant to Fortune 500 corporations and private equity funds, as well as to many parts of the U.S. Government, and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Professor Bracken’s courses at Yale include Strategy, Technology, and War; Technology and Global Strategy; and Problem Framing. His most recent book is The Second Nuclear Age. Other books have dealt with global business, political risk, national security and world order. Dr. Bracken has also written for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and Foreign Affairs to name a few. He is included in Princeton Review’s The Best 300 Professors in America. On this program, Professor Bracken will give lectures on such topics as UK unity and Brexit; politics and business in Northern Europe; and the future of the EU.

ADDITIONAL LECTURER

Scott Pearson, Professor Emeritus at Stanford’s Food Research Institute, teaching about the peoples of Scotland and Scandinavia—Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and the Sámi, as well as the German Hansa, and Norway’s economic rise from the 19th to the 21st centuries.
