Drifting Apart

Between 2015 and 2019 Drifting Apart worked to unearth and strengthen our understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the fascinating and interconnected geological heritage of the Northern Periphery and Arctic region, and its many links to natural, built and cultural heritage. 

The project supported the development of new and aspiring UNESCO Global Geoparks, the promotion of innovative products and services for social and economic prosperity and built a strong network of geoheritage destinations in the Northern Periphery and Arctic Region. This project brought together partners from Northern Ireland, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Iceland, Canada and Russia.
