Location: waterfront north of Reykjavik’s City Center, Iceland;
Sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, steel.
“Sólfar is a massive steel creation made to resemble a Viking ship…
Standing by this sculpture during sunset, at any time of the year, is an unforgettable moment. It is probably the most photographed sculpture in Reykjavik.” –Geir Gudmundsson

Wow! *blush* I dunno what to say… Takk fyrir! Thank you!
The Sun Voyager might look cold coz it’s made of steel but it possesses a magnetic presence that makes one feel calm and serene. Geir describes the experience being unforgettable, I say it’s magical.
