Iceland : City Keflavik – Reykjanesbaer drone fly over the city aerial video
Keflavik is a very important center of fishing, industrial and service. It is inhabited by about 10,000 people. In 1996 the city was connected with the towns Njarðvík and hafnir and former US base Asbru in agglomerations Reykjanesbaer (over 14 thousand people).
In the past, Keflavik served as commercial. Even in the sixteenth century, there was no shortage here of the English and German merchants, but after the introduction of the Danish monopoly in the seventeenth century, the city began to decline. After World War II the US military stationed here in the framework of NATO. After years of protests by the local population, the base was finally abolished September 30, 2006. On this day there was a solemn ceremony of exchange of flags on the mast of the US to Icelandic. The buildings of the former base was converted into flats, designed mainly for students.
Take a walk path along the cliffs at the harbor. In nice weather you can see from here Reykjavik, and even the Snaefellsnes peninsula. At the cliffs of the cave is located (Skessugellir) in which it can meet a huge figure of a troll Skessa. More in the gallery below the article. Troll snores, belches but also wins the very famous song.

Equally interesting place is a museum of the Viking world where you can see a reconstruction of a Viking boat.

The airport is also designated as a reserve airport for the landing of NASA space shuttles in case of problems with the landing in the United States or failure aboard the spacecraft primarily because of the history of its construction (built by the US Army during World War II)

Viking World in Keflavik, Iceland
Viking World is a museum in Njarðvík, Reykjanesbær, Iceland. The museum opened on 8 May 2009, followed by a formal opening on Icelandic National Day, 17 June. The director was Elisabeth Ward; the building was designed by Guðmundur Jónsson.
Iceland’s history has long been intertwined with the Vikings, they go hand in hand and there is no better place to learn about this than a visit to the best Viking museum Iceland has to offer, Viking World. You see the Vikings settled Iceland with the first Viking visit happening by accident. Yes, a complete accident in around the start of the 8th century discovered one of the most stunning countries in the world. Gardar the Swede from Denmark was blown off course and as a result, discovered Iceland. This was the first of many Vikings landing in Iceland.
It was only a natural progression that Iceland cash in on its Viking past with the large number of tourists that flock to this amazing island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Going to visit an Iceland Viking museum is a fantastic way to discover more about the Viking world and what actually went on in it. There are also so many Viking television shows now that have really opened many peoples eyes to an era that may not have been as well known a few years ago.
Viking World Museum Iceland is located close to Keflavik airport. The Viking museum Iceland is located in a purpose built modern exhibition hall designed by an award-winning Icelandic Architect. The first thing that strikes you about the Viking museum is its location, is its clear lines, glass panels and glistening blue water that laps up the background.
The Íslendingur that sits front and centre is a replica of a Viking ship that was found intact and excavated in Norway in 1888. The Íslendingur, that now calls Viking world home, was built in 1992.
Don’t just think it’s a model, this boat was sailed from Iceland to New York in 2000 to celebrate Leif Erikson’s discovery of The United States of America. The ship is truly amazing and can be accessed from the second floor of the museum. You can walk on it and take in its size and design. Stand at the bow and pretend you are on a voyage of discovery seeking out far away lands just like the vikings of Iceland did in the past. You can walk on the ship, around the ships upper deck and under the Viking ship. With all of this acces you can really get a feeling for how an approaching Viking ship would have put the fear into anyone.
Within Viking World you will find a Vikings of the North Atlantic exhibition with displays of many replica Viking artifacts. This exhibition showcases the Viking expansion across the North Atlantic Ocean. The Norsemen Vikings sailed everywhere from the North Sea to the Black Sea. For two centuries beginning in about 800 AD, the Viking expansion was on. This exhibition supported by models, information boards and computer displays help you to see how they expanded.
There is a small cinema area where you can watch movies on a big screen about the Viking World as we know it. When we were at Viking Museum Keflavik they were showing a documentary on the crossing to New York. Other Viking documentaries dealing with the Norsemen Vikings of Iceland and their long history were entertaining and informing. A little kids corner was near the cinema if you have smaller kids this may keep them occupied while you learn about the Vikings.
The Settlement of Iceland display talks about the Vikings landing in this nation. The Settlement of Iceland exhibition displays Viking artifacts and archaeological findings from the Reykjanes region. Reykjanes Peninsula was first inhabited by the Norseman Vikings from the ninth century and ruins of the Viking Village Iceland were found in the area.
Photographs and illustrations round off the display of longhouses that were home to the first Viking settlers. Viking World Museum puts on a great display that tells the story of the settlements in the area. This section houses a model of a burial boat with displays of real Viking bones. We found this very educational for the kids and the girls loved the way it was set out.
Upstairs in the Viking museum there is a Norse mythology and myths display. Our eldest daughter Willow really enjoyed learning about this. An audio guide in 4 languages is available and a light show makes this an attractive educational display for the whole family. It’s really a sensory exhibition with lights sounds and shapes of the Norse Gods. The fate of the Gods display introduces the religion of Norsemen some one thousand years ago. You will hear about Asgard where the gods lived to hear about Óðinn the leader of Norse gods. Come and learn about the society of pre-Christian Scandinavians.

ThyssenKrupp Traction Elevator at Gearing Hall with DieselDucy.
2013 Night & 2016 Day: Riding the nice elevator at Gearing Hall with DieselDucy, and even though this replaced an old Otis, I do have to say that ThyssenKrupp did a great job on this elevator, with the Dover-style cab and epic motor. Plus it has that unique
cosmic appearance with the black ceiling, gray nebular walls, and dark gray spotted floor, which is interesting for a historic building.

The Amazing Viking Ship Islendingur and Museum
Viking World or Vikinggaheimar Museum is located in the seaside town of Reykjaneshaer (not far from Keflavik International Airport). This was the last tour included in the Tauck Tours 7-day Iceland Cruise.
Viking World has five different exhibitions which are all connected to the Viking age and gives an opportunity to learn about their history and lifestyle 1,000 years ago.
The highlight is a replica of the Viking ship Islendingur, a seaworthy vessel that sailed to North America in 2000. It boggles my mind how the adventurous Vikings explored the seas in such a tiny craft!

Unique Iceland: Reykjanes
The Reykjanes Peninsula is a UNESCO Global Geopark, you can see where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drift apart. The area’s history is equally as split between two worlds, but town Keflavík, close to Keflavík International Airport, is famous for both excellent pop music and resilient fishermen. The landscape has shaped the society and its history through the ages. A seemingly endless, green-grey moss-topped lava field blankets the peninsula, and lighthouses guard those travelling by sea. Nature is diverse, with volcanic and geothermal activity, and where the Blue Lagoon is a popular attraction. Reykjanes area is ripe with interesting museums and exhibitions, various must-see areas, and a whole host of interesting restaurants.

Reykjavik The whale Museum Музей китов докафильм
В старой гавани Рейкьявика есть музей китов. Мы пошли в него, когда шел дождь, типа переждать. Но там оказалось интересно. Дизайн, оформление зала, игра света - круто. 23 экземпляра китов выполнены в натуральную величину, подвешены на тросах, синее освещенние, музыка с булькающими звуками- все это похоже на фантастику, как будто бы находишься в океане. Киты в музее местные, то есть, которые обитают у берегов Исландии. Думаю, детям бы очень понравилось.кстати, можно заглянуть в пасти китов, а в пасти кашалота можно и полежать! На второй этаж, где выставленны скелеты животных, мы не пошли -дождь кончился. Там есть вполне приличный ресторан. Говорят, что в музее часто проходят различные торжества и мероприятия, можно арендовать.
There is a whale Museum in Reykjavik's old harbour. We went into it when it was raining, like, wait it out. But it was interesting. Design, decoration of the hall, the play of light-cool. 23 copies of whales are made in full size, suspended on cables, blue lighting, music with gurgling sounds-all this is like a fantasy, as if you are in the ocean. Whales in the Museum are local, that is, who live off the coast of Iceland. I think the kids would love it.by the way, you can look into the jaws of whales, and in the jaws of a sperm whale and you can lie down! On the second floor, where the skeletons of animals, we did not go-the rain was over. There's a pretty decent restaurant there. They say that the Museum often hosts various celebrations and events, you can rent.
The Viking Ship Íslendingur
On the way, back we stopped over for several days in Reykjavík Iceland; and spent a few hours at the Viking World Museum to see The Viking Ship Íslendingur.
Íslendingur is a replica of the Gokstad Viking ship and was sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 2000 from Reykjavík Iceland on June 17th and arrived at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland on July 28th, then sailed onto New York City, where she arrived on 5th October, approximately 3 months after the start of the voyage.
The ship was built in 1996 by Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, a shipwright from the Westman Islands who skippered the Norwegian Gokstad ship copy Gaia on her voyage to Washington, D.C. in 1991. The Íslendingur measures 22.5 meters in length, 5.3 meters in breadth, has a draught of 1.7 meters and weighs 80 tons. She was built of 18 tons of Norwegian and Swedish oak and required 5,000 nails. Her sail was made in Denmark. Her crew complement is 9; the original Gokstad ship carried 70. Her average speed is 7 knots, top speed 18 knots. She is equipped with an engine for occasional use but is otherwise an authentic copy, made with ancient techniques.
