A cold wind from the Faxaflói Bay pushes past Harpa’s glass facets as you tap the first waypoint on your phone. The city opens in stages: austere parliament steps, the church tower of Hallgrímskirkja rising like carved basalt, and the Sun Voyager prow pointing to Mount Esja. This is Reykjavík seen through Viking eyes—myth and modernity tracked by GPS.
