This Lutheran church took 40 years to build and is one of the tallest structures in Iceland. Its design is said to be influenced by the rocks, mountains, and glaciers of Iceland’s landscape.
I was thrilled to experience the Fly Over Iceland attraction, an immersive flight simulation that showcases breathtaking aerial views of Iceland’s natural wonders.
One of the more unique attractions in Reykjavik is the Lava Show, a unique exhibition of Iceland’s volcanic activity. I witnessed the meeting of red-hot lava with a thick layer of ice, simulating a volcanic eruption under a glacier. And finally the cooling of the lava into lava glass.
This modern architectural gem sits on the waterfront, and its dazzling glass facade reflects the surrounding sea and sky. Harpa is not only renowned for its architecture but also for its world-class cultural events.
The pond (actually it’s a lake) is surrounded by charming houses, a picturesque church spire, and beautiful green areas, making it an ideal location for a relaxing picnic.
