Thirty students from Exeter are on the Isle of Man to find out whether it could lead the world in renewable energy.
They are due in Strand Street, Douglas at lunchtime to conduct research about alternative energy sources as part of their university courses.
Initially, their plan was to carry out the survey in Greece, but the volcanic ash cloud put paid to their flights and led to a last-minute change of destination.
Carol Warwick-Evans says the location may be different but the survey is the same:
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Sixth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
