    For those wondering, this is Hallgrímskirkja, a church in Reykjavík.

      I wonder if it was inspired by the columnar jointing formations you can find in Iceland?

      a cliff made entirely of columnar rocks with extremely straight, well aligned cuboid formations. The overall effect is that the cliff looks like it’s made of nearly identical thin, tall rocks

      They had this outside the last time I went.

      I’ve played enough Dark Souls to know the guy in the armour is about to get his shit fucked up.

          Next time, take at least 10 days and rent a car. Go to this restaurant. Die happy.

            Actually my dream trip is the 10 day lap of Iceland, so yes, 1000% I will. Also, saved for future reference 😊

              This restaurant is single handedly responsible for completely 180ing my attitudes on seafood. It broke me lmfao. I’m so thankful I was brought there.

                Haha that’s dangerous news - I am already a passionate seafood fan but alas, live in the dry lands.

                Another comment you said you did your Master’s there. Can I ask if you enjoyed the experience? I’ve wondered about doing a European masters but Iceland had never crossed my mind until today

                  Do it. Dm me. I’m currently in an airport but will yap when I can. I actually did the program in Scotland but my study site was in Iceland. I think I did apply to Iceland though. I took Icelandic in college. :] It’s a cool place.

                Roughly how much did the 10-day trip cost?

                  I did my Master’s on a site in the region a decade ago. Suppose it depends on what you want.

      Great views up at the top of the tower

      I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures

        Umm, wow!

        Feel like this comment deserves more attention.

        Would you share any of those photos?

        Incredible.

      I was about to say! I’ve been there (only on the outside though, I can’t enter churches without spontaneous combustion)

      …and it’s gorgeous.

      The pancake truck is parked outside daily, but never open when I was there. This is religion inaccessible to the people even in viking paradise.

      Very recognizable and everyone who has ever been to Iceland has probably seen it.
