Sun Voyager Sculpture, Iceland, Reverse B/W Postcard

"Sun Voyager Sculpture, Reykjavik, Iceland, Reverse B/W" by Catherine Sherman. The Sun Voyager (Icelandic: Sólfar) is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Sæbraut road at the sea side in Reykjavik, Iceland. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat, or an ode to the sun. It was erected in 1990, a year after the artist's death. Although many have thought that the sculpture looked like a Viking ship, the artist said he intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. The work is constructed of stainless steel and stands on a circle of granite slabs surrounded by so-called “town-hall concrete.”
