Perlan in Reykjavik: December 1, 2017


The mirrored dome of Perlan covers huge geothermal water tanks on a hill about 2 km from city center.  The wraparound viewing deck offers a tremendous 360 degree view of Reykjavik and the mountains.

A restaurant and coffee shop are inside the dome.  Below is a museum.  The featured attraction was the recreation of an ice cave.  We could have visited a real ice cave out at Jokulsarlon (the glacier lagoon).  Too cold and too many other places to see before sunset that day.

Through the mist, you can barely see the Hallgrimskirkja (see my Downtown Reykjavik post).  Note the fire escape is a ladder next to the glass.
