Reykjavík

"Reykjavík is the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state. The Bazflyers together with our friend Bill flew Icelandair B757 out of Glasgow and two hours later landed at Reykjavík's impressive new international airport. In fact as we are discovering there is much to be impressed about Iceland. For example at this time of the year daytime lasts for 24 hours.

Impressive by any standards is the Harpa. An architectural masterpiece situated on the  Reykjavík waterfront and serving as a concert hall and conference centre. 


Then there is the Hallgrímskirkja, an inspirational Lutheran church. Construction began in 1945 and took 22 years. Situated in the centre of Reykjavík, it is one of the best-known landmarks and visible throughout the city. 


Also SOLON has a shop....now that's seriously impressive!


Then there are the many corrugated iron clad buildings.....


.....and the scenic harbour.
