A glass dome sitting on six tanks that store the city's hot water. Inside: a walk-through tunnel made of real snow and ice, glacier and volcano exhibits, and a planetarium that plays the northern lights in 8K on the dome. Plenty of people who leave Iceland without seeing an aurora come here to make up for it. The deck that rings the tanks gives a 360-degree view over the city, Hallgrímskirkja and the bay.
