The Banquet in the Pearl
|
The NGM Banquet will be held at the Perlan restaurant in Reykjavik.
Friday from 19:00 The Pearl building is a magnificent structure. Formally opened to the public on 21 June 1991, it combines utility and vision. Hollow steel framing supports the glass dome and walls that link six aluminum-sided tanks, each of which can contain 4 million liters of water averaging 85°C (185°F). As part of The Pearl’s heating system, hot water is pumped through the metal framework in winter, while cold water flows during summer, thereby producing a comfortable year-round environment. |
While you enjoy a three course dinner with wine, you will enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Reykjavik and beyond as the restaurant gently completes a full rotation every two hours.
On the viewing deck on the floor below the restaurant, you will find panoramic telescopes at each of the six corners of the deck with recorded descriptions in Icelandic, English, Norwegian, German and French.
