Iceland - Reykjavík
Sun Voyager
By @thebritishexplorer
A striking seaside sculpture in Reykjavík with Mount Esja and Faxaflói as the backdrop. Often mistaken for a Viking ship, it is a dreamboat that celebrates the sun and exploration. Unveiled in 1990 for Reykjavík’s 200th anniversary. 📸🌅
Address: Sæbraut, 101 Reykjavík, Iceland
Why go
It is an iconic stainless steel artwork by Jón Gunnar Árnason that symbolises hope, progress and discovery.
Vibe
Iconic. Reflective.
Tips
I recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset when the polished steel catches the golden light.
