Volcano House - Reykjavikurborg

Excellent documentaries. Show lasts 55 minutes and isn't expensive. Knowledgeable vulcanology post-graduate students are on hand to answer any questions. There's a small museum of rock types that you can touch. Well worth a visit!

Wee museum with some pretty cool geological exhibits. The two documentaries are pretty interesting and there is a little gift shop. You can touch most of the exhibits and you will walk away learning something new, I now know that there's such a thing as a lava bomb and they are kinda round, plus there are different types of volcanic ash. There's also free coffee. This place is pretty ace

Nice little museum based around two short films about the volcanoes on Iceland. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The films take an hour combined and are shown back to back in their small cinema room. While you wait for the films to start (which was on the hour when I visited) there is a good collection of volcanic rocks which you are encouraged to pick up and look at, plus lots of information about volcanoes to geek out on.

Worth a visit for the 2 movies alone (approx 45 minutes) covering 2 major eruptions in recent Icelandic history. Outside the movie room, the mini museum testifies to the real sense of pride that the Icelanders feel about the geology of their astonishing island.

A fantastic resource for visitors to Iceland. The geological exhibits were entertaining and the gift selection was nice, but the assistance we received in planning our week of adventures was priceless. We had a great stay in Iceland, but the most memorable parts were those suggested by Daan, who helped us find tours and hotels. If we weren't eating fish chips next door, we may have never stopped by and that would have been a mistake!
