The Geotourism Students' Scientific Club from AGH University of Science and Technology celebrated the Year of Walery Goetel by setting out on an expedition to Iceland in his footsteps. Professor Walery Goetel (1889-1972) went down in history as an outstanding and versatile geologist, creator of sozology and one of the most famous rectors of AGH. He was also an advocate for nature conservation, national parks and tourism. In 1927, Walery Goetel and his brother - writer Ferdynand - went on an expedition to Iceland. The island, known as “Land of Ice and Fire”, is one of the most geologically significant and interesting places in the world. The expedition let him collect valuable observations, samples and photographs. The journey, mainly through the western part of Iceland, was described by Ferdynand in the book “Island in the cloudy north” (1928). We followed this expedition 95 years later and we would like to propose the “Walery Goetel's memorial geotourist trail”. On the proposed route, there are 19 points visited by Professor, 10 of them we distinguished as particular attractive in terms of geotourism. In addition, we suggest 13 other points worth visiting, which are not mentioned in the book, but are located in the area of the trail, and we assess them as having significant geotouristic potential. The length of the trail is 770 km, and it is worth spending at least 5days to cover it by car. The trail includes such famous geotouristic attractions as the Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir National Park with Almannagjá gorge and Öxarárfoss waterfall, as well as less popular, but geologically important places. In the book “Island in the cloudy north” there are many regrets about the failure of Iceland to use its natural potential. The trail that we propose allows one to see how much is has changed in this respect over 100 years. We can assume that if the Professor visited modern Iceland, he would appreciate how this country implements the ideas of sozology. We hope that the trail we propose shows not only the beauty and geological uniqueness of Iceland, but also brings the ideas of Professor Walery Goetel closer.

The article presents a brief history of the Sozological Section of the Polish Geological Society and its genesis in the context of the environmental protection movement and the idea of sustainable development, as well as political changes in Poland. The section adopted and popularized the name sozology for the emerging interdisciplinary science of rational and economical use of environmental resources, named by this creator, outstanding geologist and organizer of science, Walery Goetel. In the years 1963-1972, he chaired the pioneering Seminar on the Conservation of Nature Resources and Securing the Durability of Use of Raw Materials, which made the realities of resource and land-use management in the People's Republic of Poland aware. At the same time, he popularized good practices of resource conservation and reclamation. Goetel's initiatives preceded high-profile reports by the United Nations and the WECD: U Thant's (1969) “Problems of the Human Environment”, and Brundtland's (1987)“Our common future”. The Sozological Section of the PGS operated briefly but dynamically in the years 1992-2005. Its activity has been focused on the organization of scientific conferences, demonstration of environmental problems and practical solutions in the field and popularization. The branches of PGS in Kraków, Poznań and Kielce were most involved in the organization of the conferences, along with local leaders A. Paulo, J. Skoczylas and Z. Rubinowski. The subject of the conferences evolved towards the management of industrial degraded areas and for some time their organization benefited from the support of the mineral industries. The final part of the article presents the current state of sozology in Poland and the diagnosis of future needs.
