Why Visit

Perlan ('The Pearl') is Reykjavík's natural history museum on Öskjuhlíð hill, housed in a distinctive glass dome atop six massive geothermal hot water tanks.

Did You Know?

The ice cave at Perlan is made from real glacier ice — but ironically, climate change is melting Iceland's real glaciers faster than they can be studied. Perlan's artificial cave may outlast the natural ones.

The Pearl on the Hill

Perlan was built to store hot water pumped from deep underground — but someone decided that if you're going to build six giant tanks on a hill, you should put a glass dome on top and make it beautiful.

The Observation Deck at Sunset

The outdoor observation terrace at sunset offers arguably the best panoramic view in Reykjavík — and unlike Hallgrímskirkja, there's space to sit and watch.

The Forest Walk Below

Öskjuhlíð hill is covered in planted forest with walking trails — a rare sight in Iceland. The paths from Perlan down to Nauthólsvík beach are genuinely beautiful.
