Young Spirifer at Crimea, Ukraine


Our Society holds classes for children and young people (see more about this activity here). Classes are free of charge and take place once a week in Warsaw. The subject area of classes is very diversified, we talk about geology, mineralogy and paleontology, learn how to identify minerals, fossils and rocks, watch geological films and photos. Once a month we go for a one-day trip to Polish quarries and mines. Each year during summer we go for a geological expedition. This year we were to the Crimea Peninsula in Ukraine. Altogether 30 people, children with parents and a few students, started a journey from Warsaw. We went by minibuses. It took us two days of journey to see Crimea’s northwest shore. We traveled along the Black Sea coast from West to East. Among other things we explored the Tarkhankut Peninsula, the Crimea Mountains,Yalta, Teodosia and the Kerch Peninsula. During trip not only did we get to know a geology of the Crimea Peninsula, picked minerals and fossils but also enjoyed time sunbathing and swimming in the warm waters of the Black Sea.
