Place description

Sun Voyager is a statue/sculpture located in Reykjavik, Iceland. It is a popular spot in the capital, especially among photographers. It is also very accessible from the city center, where it is only a few hundred meters away. The statue was created by Jón Gunnar Árnason, an Icelandic sculptor, in 1990. It is made of steel and copper and is in the shape of a ship hurtling into the sun. The statue is a symbol of hope and dreams.

If you visit this place, ideally continue further along the coast towards the next major site, which is the Harpa concert hall.
