Professor Ian Carmichael's education has always been punctuated by travelling to other countries, firstly at 17 from the privations of an English boarding school to a co-ed school in Connecticut, from there to Cuba and then to the Colorado School of Mines; finally after 18 months he returned to England. After six weeks, he found himself in a barracks built in 1755, sharing one cold tap with 30 other bewildered recruits, but then came the glories of a troopship to Egypt and two years as a 2/Lt wandering through the deserts of Sinai and the Sudan. Three years at Cambridge University followed (BA 1954), jumping out of airplanes to pay the fees, and then came the first job as a geologist prospecting in northern Ontario. From there to trekking along the Canadian arctic coast in winter, and then back to England and the Imperial College of Science in the University of London. Mapping an extinct (Tertiary) volcano in Iceland became the backbone of a Ph.D thesis (granted in 1960).
