Snaefellsstofa Visitor Center

I don't know how to pronounce this visitor center but it is definitely eye catching in design. It's located in the eastern part of the national park that surrounds Europe's largest glacier. The Snaefellsstofa building is shaped in an X design and was designed by Arkis. The materials are as usual concrete and beautiful untreated wood. I'm a sucker for these types of materials. If I'm ever in Europe I would surely visit this visitor center.
