East Iceland

During WWII around 3000 Allied soldiers (10 times the local population) were based in Rey冒arfj枚r冒ur. At the top end of Hei冒arvegur you鈥檒l find the excellent (but pricey) Icelandic Wartime Museum, which details these strange few years. The building is surrounded by mines, Jeeps and aeroplane propellers, and holds other war relics. Photographs and tableaux provide a background to Iceland鈥檚 wartime involvement.

The museum is tucked behind a rusting set of army barracks, built as part of a hospital camp in 1943 but never used for that purpose.
