Information about the Perlan Museum and the Auroras Show 

The Perlan Museum's first exhibition of "Glaciers and Ice", opened in the summer of 2017. It is unique in the world in that it is built into one of the six hot water tanks that make up Perlan. The construction is quite impressive as the 6 tanks hold a total of 424 million liters of geothermal hot water (4 million liters per tank). These gigantic structures are suppored by a massive steel frame which also doubles as an immense radiator. Depending on the season the appropriate water runs through and heats or cools the system, cold in the summer and hot in the winter. 

There are four parts to the main exhibition which is named: Forces of Nature Exhibition. The four sections include volcanoes, plate tectonics, earthquakes and geothermal power. These are the four elements which make Iceland so unique to any other country or place on this planet. Each area does into great detail to show how these four forces have acted upon the tiny island and granted it the increible beauty, landscape, views, flora and fauna that now reside there. 

With this entrance to the Perlan museum, you can also access the spectacular planetarium of northern lights, the first in 8K. Science and art combined to show you a beautiful story about the northern lights, a journey through time and the incredible landscapes of Iceland that will allow you to understand the science behind this great mystery and live a truly fascinating experience.

And at the very top of the museum you will find the large observation deck with an incredible 360 ​​° view of all of Reykjavík and the surrounding area.
