Icelandic Wartime Museum
The sight of several restored army trucks parked within the vicinity of some old Nissen barracks might look out of place in the small town of Reyðarfjörður, but they serve as a reminder of Iceland’s history with the allied forces during the Second World War, when 4,000 soldiers descended on the small town, outnumbering locals by more than three to one. The vintage trucks and buildings are now part of Íslenska Stríðsárasafnið (War Museum), an exhibition featuring images and other memorabilia from the wartime period.
