Yes the 7 step spa is amazing. You should try this even after going to Blue Lagoon. It’s a different experience.

This was definitely the most unique and fascinating experience of my trip to Iceland! I thought it might be a niche attraction, but I was surprised by how rich and profound its content was. The museum houses a wide variety of specimens, from whales to humans, perfectly blending curiosity, science, and humor. The explanations are detailed and the layout is clear, not at all cheesy, but instead full of educational value and a sense of the wonder of life. The gift shop's creative souvenirs are truly hilarious. If you're tired of the usual natural scenery, a visit here will definitely bring you unexpected joy and reflection. Highly recommended for all open-minded travelers!

This museum is definitely worth the price of admission, and buying family tickets online is significantly cheaper than visiting the museum. The aurora, volcano, and ice cave experiences are truly breathtaking. It's a must-see for families. The rooftop observation deck is also worth a visit.

The Northern Lights Center in Reykjavik, Iceland. According to the locals, this place is an aurora viewing center established by four young people. The most important thing to do when going to Iceland is to chase the aurora. This place is in a great location to watch the laser-shaped aurora.

Hallgrímskirkja, a landmark building with Icelandic characteristics, is named after the renowned Icelandic writer Hallgrím Pietersson. Its unique structure fully demonstrates Icelanders' unique insights and pursuit of architectural art.

The 50-minute program started with an explanation, followed by a video clip, and then an introduction to the process of lava flowing out and cooling down. It was quite informative, and you could really feel the heat of the lava.

Although Iceland is also a land of ice and snow with low temperatures, Lake Torning is not frozen. We came here early, and there were almost no tourists. It is a very beautiful, peaceful and comfortable place with a very good scenery.

I'm satisfied, but it feels a bit lacking for a national museum... But why was this built? You'll understand when you visit Iceland. Good luck to those planning a trip to Iceland. I truly wish you the best. You can definitely tick off your Iceland bucket list. Haha.

This is a sculpture on the waterfront of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. It is said to represent a pirate ship and commemorate the pioneering spirit of Iceland's ancestors. The design of the ship sculpture is indeed unique and abstract, but it is not difficult to understand.
