Sólfar
Sólfar, also known as the Sun Voyager, is a stunning sculpture located on the Reykjavik waterfront. Designed by Icelandic artist Jón Gunnar Árnason, the sculpture resembles a Viking ship and is meant to symbolize the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress, and freedom. The location of Sólfar is not only a popular tourist destination but also a prime spot for photography. The sculpture is situated against the backdrop of the ocean and the mountains, making it an ideal location for capturing breathtaking photos. Additionally, the nearby Harpa Concert Hall and the Hallgrímskirkja church are also popular photography locations in Reykjavik.
