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.

Systematyczne badania obszarów Syberii i Dalekiego Wschodu rozpoczęły się z początkiem XIX wieku. Znaczący udział w tych badaniach mieli Polacy. Byli to zarówno zesłańcy, którzy trafili tam po upadku kolejnych powstań, jak i podróżnicy, badacze i przemysłowcy, których przyroda lub chęć zysku ciągnęły w tamte strony. Wśród nich było wielu geologów. Wachlarz ich zainteresowań był bardzo szeroki i obejmował również etnografię, zoologię, botanikę. Wykonywali oni również pomiary meteorologiczne i topograficzne. W artykule przedstawiono sylwetki słynnych geologów: Aleksandra Czekanowskiego, Jana Czerskiego, Karola Bohdanowicza, Józefa Morozewicza oraz mniej znanych – Antoniego Giedroycia, Leona Barszczewskiego, Bronisława Grąbczewskiego, Leonarda Jaczewskiego, Kazimierza Grochowskiego i Stanisława Doktorowicza-Hrebnickiego. Wszyscy byli znakomitymi badaczami i zapisali się złotymi zgłoskami w poznanie obszarów położonych na wschód od Uralu. Część z nich, po odzyskaniu niepodległości wniosła doniosły wkład w rozwój nauk geologicznych w Polsce.

Systematical studies of Siberia and the Far East regions were started in the beginning of XIX century. Poles participated significantly in those studies. There were deportees after overthrowing of the following insurrections and also voyagers, explorers and industrialists – all of whom were attracted to that region by nature and cupidity. There were a lot of geologists among those people. Their interests ranged from ethnography, zoology to botany. They also carried on meteorological and topographical measurements. In the present paper, there are outlines of such well-known explorers as: Aleksander Czekanowski, Jan Czerski, Karol Bohdanowicz or Józef Morozewicz and, less famous, Antoni Giedroyć, Leonard Barszczewski, Bronislaw Grąbczewski, Leon Jaczewski, Kazimierz Grochowski, Stanisław Doktorowicz-Hrebnicki portrayed. All of them were brilliant researchers, they distinguished themselves in exploration territories east of Ural. After recovery of independence, part of them contributed significant share in developing of geological sciences in Poland.
