Why Visit
Walk among massive stone pillars aligned with Arctic sun — modern Icelandic Stonehenge on the northernmost coast under midnight sun.
Did You Know?
At summer solstice, the midnight sun circles Arctic Henge without setting — you can watch 24-hour sunlight align with the stone pillars.
The Lagarfljót Wyrm
The lakes and rivers of North and East Iceland are said to harbor the Lagarfljótsormurinn, a fearsome serpent similar to Scotland's Loch Ness Monster. According to legend, a young girl placed a gold ring on a heath serpent to make it grow, but the creature grew so large and fierce that she threw it into Lagarfljót lake. The serpent continued to grow and has terrorized the area for centuries. Sightings have been reported well into the modern era, with some photographs and videos purporting to show the creature. Whether real or imagined, the legend reflects Iceland's deep connection to its watery landscapes and the mysteries they hold.
