The Sun Voyager, or "Sólfarið," is a stainless steel sculpture in Reykjavik that symbolizes the sun, exploration, and new beginnings. It was designed by Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931-1989), who drew inspiration from a Drakkar Viking ship for the project, and it's one of the most visited attractions in Iceland's capital!

Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Take a bus from Reykjavík to Höfn city and walk to Vatnajökull National park. There is a path you can go to see the lava as close as possible.

The Arctic Henge is a monument to Asatru, the beliefs of the Old Norse. It is located in Raufarhöfn (*), the northernmost settlement of mainland Iceland.
The Arctic Henge is a site consisting of many stone arches and statues arranged as a monument to the Norse pagan beliefs. Specifically, the piece was inspired by Völuspá, a poem from Edda, the ‘Bible’ of Norse Mythology. Völuspá translates to the Prophecy of the Seeress.This poem describes both how the world was created and how it is doomed to end; it also describes the first man and woman created and catalogs many mythical characters, including the dwarves. 72 of these dwarves, who are said to be symbols of the seasons of the world, are represented at the Arctic Henge, each as an individual block inscribed with a name. These blocks encircle four greater stone arches, which in turn encircle a great column of four pillars. The stone arches on site are arranged to capture the light of the Midnight Sun as it moves across the sky in summer; on June 21st, for example, it aligns perfectly with the south arch. In this way, it is somewhat of a modern Stonehenge.

The Arctic Henge is still under construction. The central column, for example, will be tipped with a prism glass that refracts the sun’s light, and the Throne of the Sun, where you can sit to admire the celestial bodies, will soon be added. Also in the works are the Hall of Rays, a place designed for spiritual renewal, and the Altar of Fire and Water, where rituals, ceremonies, and weddings will be conducted.
(*) Raufarhöfn is located on the Melrakkaslétta Peninsula, which reaches the northernmost latitudes on the Icelandic mainland; only Grímsey, an island community on the Arctic Circle, is further north. As such, it is one of the country’s furthest settlements from the capital, Reykjavík, which sits in the south-east.

Xenon Darrow: This is an absolute STELLAR example of weaving history education into a more modern or synthesized application! Very very well done! I think you need a marker of some kind with a notecard with this in... 25 days ago

Cruiser Queen Mary II in front of Reykjavík harbour. I have rezized it to match an average avatar size so it has 512 meters length! (pretty much a side of a 2x2 VAR region!). Cruiser goes around the region automatically.
Hallgrímskirkja is a Lutheran (Church of Iceland) parish church in Reykjavík, Iceland. At 74.5 metres (244 ft) tall, it is the largest church in Iceland and among the tallest structures in the country
