Local Legend
A Modern Cairn by the Sea
For centuries, stone cairns helped travellers cross Iceland’s open landscapes long before marked roads existed. These simple piles of stones guided people safely between farms and coastal settlements, especially in fog, snow, or darkness. Íslandsvarðan reflects this tradition in a modern sculptural form placed along Reykjavík’s shoreline. Rather than marking a remote mountain route, this cairn now stands beside the sea, where walkers follow one of the capital’s most scenic coastal paths. The circular opening invites visitors to stop and look outward across Faxaflói Bay, echoing the way travellers once paused at cairns to confirm their direction before continuing their journey.
