Expedition Planet Earth: Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji

Following in the footsteps of the epic BBC Planet Earth series, this study abroad will explore the patterns and diversity of life on planet Earth from its driest deserts to tropical rainforests, glaciers, fjords, coral reefs and the abundance of life in rivers and oceans. You will travel through some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, home to an incredible array of endemic plant and animal species. We will discover the basic geology and astronomy underlying the remarkable story of how earth came to support such abundant and complex life forms. You will have an opportunity to meet and interact with indigenous people and cultures in each country to better understand their perspective and relationship with nature, providing you with experiences that will change your life. This is an active study abroad that will involve hiking through some of the world’s most stunning landscapes, boating and kayaking through the coastal fjords of New Zealand, the coastlines of Fiji and the Great Barrier Reef. This trip is the quintessential definition of BYU’s motto—the world is our campus.
