Solfar Suncraft resemble a viking ship, many visitors note it looks more like some kind of giant bug just climbed out of sea.
Designed by the artist Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931-1989). This sculpture stands near the sea area where you can see some of the local walking, jogging, biking if it's a nice weather is really nice to stroll around, it was pretty late when we visit the city the weather is cold, rain, and windy. Solfar Suncraft Monument Sólfar (The Sun Voyager) is a sculpture along the sea by Sæbraut just southeast of the Harpa Hall and Conference Center. We had gone down to the sea to walk along the shore walk and came across this sculpture. It was made by Jón Gunnar Árnason and unveiled in 1990, after the artist's death. The metal sculpture is a dreamboat, symbolizing the voyage into undiscovered territory, and an ode to the sun. Its location right on the shore provides for some great photo opportunities. It's easy to get to, only takes a few minutes to see, and doesn't cost anything, so be sure to check it out if you're in Reykjavik. Although I saw this on a misty day, the effect was impressive. Beautifully made and a significant sculpture. I have just seen the photos taken by other contributors and am amazed at the distant scenery in the background. I shall return in better weather hopefully to see this in better conditions and take a better photo! Well worth a visit.
