Þúfa hill in Reykjavik, Iceland

In the old harbour area of Reykjavik, Iceland, a hill called Þúfa (pronounced Thufa) draws the visitor’s attention. The eight-metre-tall dome was built by artist Ólöf Nordal. A stone path spirals up the grass-covered hill and if you follow the path, you’re treated to a stunning view of the chilly Atlantic waters and the city skyline inland. That’s a fishing hut atop the hill, traditionally used to hang salted fish to dry. Maybe as residents celebrate Icelandic National Day today, some will come to Þúfa to pause and reflect.
