Whales of Iceland features life-size models of every whale species known to inhabit Icelandic waters, suspended from the ceiling in a vast, dimly lit hall. Interactive touchscreens and audio guides provide detailed information about each species, their behaviors, and the threats they face. The museum also includes a virtual reality experience that lets visitors dive alongside whales, making it both educational and awe-inspiring for all ages.
