Perlan- The Wonders of Iceland

On Wednesday, we returned from Selfoss to Reykjavik, eventually checking into our last hotel, the Centrum. On the way, we stopped by one of Reykjavik's latest museums - Perlan.

The building itself was an architectural wonder. Six cylindrical, multi-story galleries surrounding a central core with open, soaring spaces and an enormous hemispherical skylight, itself ringed with a outdoor walking balcony affording 360 degree views of Reykjavik.

There were several notable exhibits, including Iceland's volcanic history, an actual (freezing cold!) ice cave to wander through and the retreat of glaciers around the world.
