Whales of Iceland Exhibition
The Whales of Iceland Exhibition in Reykjavík is a place where you can learn all about whales in a fun and exciting way. It is one of the largest whale exhibitions in the world and has life-size models of 23 different kinds of whales, like blue whales, humpback whales, and sperm whales. These models are huge and look very real, helping you understand how big and amazing these animals are. At the exhibition, you can learn how whales live, what they eat, and how they help the ocean stay healthy. There are interactive displays, sounds, and videos, so it’s easy to enjoy, no matter your age. There’s even a virtual reality experience where you can feel like you’re underwater, swimming with the whales. Did you know that Iceland is home to over 40 species of whales?
