Raufarhöfn is the northernmost village on the Icelandic mainland where the Arctic Circle lies just off the coast. It is a peaceful setting to enjoy walks, fishing and birdwatching and offers a front-row seat for enjoying the midnight sun in summer and northern lights in winter. On a small elevation at the edge of the village, the Arctic Henge is being constructed. A huge stone sundial with allusions to mythology and folklore, designed to interact with the unique natural light of this remote place. The Arctic Henge is around 50 meters in diameter, with 6 meter high gates that face the main directions. Between the gates is a high wall with a small opening at the top. Inside the circle stands 10 meter high column on four pillars. The play of light and shadow will follow the time of the day.
After a dry landing ashore, enjoy a lecture about the history of the site and the power of the elements. Embark on a walk up the hill to explore and celebrate the Arctic Henge.
