Things to do in Reykjavik, Capital Region: The Best Monuments & Statues
Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

The statue in front of the Hallgrimskirkja church represents Leif Eriksson. For centuries it was recognized that Christopher Columbus and his people were the first Europeans in America. But the Italian traveler was late, by 492 years and three days. Leif Ericson is recognized as the explorer who got to America before Christopher Columbus.This statue was designed by the American sculptor Alexander Stirling Calder in 1929 and gifted to Iceland in 1930. It is the gift of America to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of the Icelandic Parliament . This has a prime position in front of the Hallgrimskirkja. So, it is easy to find and also allows some excellent photographic opportunities. Great, proud and strong Viking statue. Beautiful .
