Zone suggestion in Reykjavik: Ingólfur

Post by allinug »

The monument medals were recently released. It should be celebrated with a first monument zone in Reykjavik. And what would be more appropriate than the statue of Ingólfur Arnarson, the man who founded the city:

"Tradition tells us an amazing story about how Ingólfur decided which lands to settle. As he sailed along the rugged Icelandic coastline, he threw into the water the pillars of his chieftain's seat, wooden pillars carved with his surname and representations of the gods, and vowed that he would settle on the shoreline where his pillars were beached" (https://www.funiceland.is/.../settleme. ... -arnarson/)

This is why two logs are depicted in Reykjavík's city coat of arms!
I have also put a suggestion in the app.
