Volcano House is a geology exhibition in Reykjavík, Iceland, located at Tryggvagata 11.[1] The exhibition gives a brief overview of Iceland's geological history and volcanic systems.[2] Every hour the Volcano House shows two documentaries, one about the volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 and one about the volcanic eruption in the Westman Islands in 1973. The mission of Volcano House is to give visitors a glimpse of the reality of living in Iceland, where volcanoes and earthquakes are a part of daily life.[3]

Admission to the geology exhibition is free, but the documentary cinema is requires paid tickets.[4]
