Sofandi risar fjalla um hina örlagaríku tíma sem við lifum á.
Í náttúrunni búa sofandi risar sem smátt og smátt eru að vakna til lífsins. Djúpt í iðrum náttúrunnar stendur tíminn kyrr svo árþúsundum saman og varðveitir þar tímann og kjarnann í náttúrunni.

Um þúsaldir geymist vatnið og súrefnið og allar öreindir landsins á hinum fullkomna stað, undir þungu fargi sjálfs síns til þess að varðveita upprunann. Í myrkrinu og kuldanum varðveitist kjarninn best, tíminn hefur stöðvast í milljónir ára og bíður þess sem verða vill. Massinn og fargið hefur áhrif á allt í kringum sig, nærir og kæfir allt umhverfið sitt með eiginleikum sínum.

Íslenskir jöklar eru að hverfa. Ef skyggnst er innst inn í kjarna jökuls þá má þar finna allt sem var, andrúmsloft, vatn, ryk, flóru, og allar hinar minnstu öreindir alheimsins.
Þetta er allt geymt í frystigeymslu náttúrunnar.

Aðgengi er gott á Ljósmyndasafninu ?‍?

Sleeping Giants is about the fateful times in which we live.
In nature, there are sleeping giants that are slowly awakening. 
Deep within nature’s core, time has stood still for millions of years. Time is preserved there, along with the essence of nature itself.

For millennia, water, oxygen, and all the particles of the land have been stored in the perfect place—compressed under their own immense weight to preserve their origin. In darkness and cold, the core is best preserved. Time has stopped for millions of years, waiting for what will happen next. The mass and its tremendous weight affect everything in its surroundings, both nourishing and suffocating the entire environment through its presence.

Icelandic glaciers are disappearing.
If you look deep into the core of a glacier, you can find everything that once existed: atmosphere, water, dust, flora, and even the smallest particles of the universe. All of this is stored in nature’s freezer.

Access for the disabled is good ?‍?
Service dogs are welcome at the museum.
Public transport: The nearest bus stops are called Hafnarhús, Lækjartorg, Ráðhúsið (2-5 min. away).
Paid parking is available by the museum and in neighbouring parking houses.
