In Reykjavik shorefront, not far from the city center sits a commanding Viking ship statue. Made of metal, this modernised version of the ships Vikings used to conquer a big part of the northern hemisphere back then is a sight worth not missing. The statue, named Sun Voyager, is made by artist Jon Gunnar Arnason. The ship looks very dramatic, and gives a lot of photo opportunities. The best time to visit the status is either early morning or late evening on a clear day, when the last rays of sun make the statue turn reddish.
