Perlan

If you're in Reykjavik, Perlan (The Pearl) is a must do.  The dome was built on top of the water tanks that store hot water for the city (seven days worth.) It's kind of a natural history museum with great displays.


My mom loved the information on Iceland's cliff-dwelling birds,

and the kids loved walking through the ice cave. It was actually made of ice - you could borrow a coat since it was freezing inside. Before you enter there is a nice multi-media presentation about Iceland's glaciers.



My dad and I really enjoyed to planetarium show. It was all about the northern lights. I didn't know both Saturn and Jupiter have northern lights, too.

After we'd wandered trough the museum, we went outside to take in the 360 degree view of Reykjavik. It was stunning.
