In this Episode we visit the special building Perlan or the Pearl where I met Steffi Meisl who works in marketing there. Perlan is definitely one of the major landmarks in Iceland, a pearl looking dome on top of six water tanks, perched on the hilltop of Öskjuhlíð in Reykjavík. One can’t miss it.
The immersive Wonders of Iceland exhibition is there and Steffi gives us insights into what it is all about.
