FIELD TRIP:
This year the field trip will take place in Bochnia Salt Mine, one of the oldest salt mines in Poland and in the whole Europe. Participants will see salt structures, mining techniques and fluorescent salt that was recently discoverd by prof. Maciej Manecki and his students. Click here for more info about Bochnia Salt Mine.

On June 23, 2013 r. the Bochnia Salt Mine was entered onto the UNESCO World Cultural And Natural Heritage List.

The world’s only ferry crossing of an underground chamber flooded with brine is without a doubt the biggest attraction of the Bochnia mine.

Discover the oldest Bochnia mine workings, which have never before been made available to tourists, where rock salt was mined from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century.

To walk the route, you will have to be in a very good physical condition, but you will be rewarded by the sights the beautiful raw rock formations which have been uncovered thanks to the work of the miners. Here, you will find geological expositions unlike any others in the world, which illustrate the structure of the Bochnia salt deposit.

WORKSHOP:

This year workshop will take place underground in Bochnia Salt Mine where participants will learn how to make great geological photos in low light. They will be conducted by National Geographic photographer Adam Brzoza. Lear how to play with light and shadow, how to document those geological features that you always wanted! Bring home some amazing new work! Improve your photography in just one day!
