Perlan also has a restaurant, bar, café, ice cream parlour and gift shop for guests to enjoy. Perlan was designed by architect Ingimundur Sveinsson. It was open on June 21, 1991. The building consists of a huge glass dome that rests on top of six district heating tanks, each of which can hold about 4 million liters of geothermal water.
