Giantess

To the northeast of Keflavík's harbour sits the larger-than-life Giantess, a giant troll character from Herdís Egilsdóttir’s children’s books. A local art collective created the enormous figure, who sits in a rocking chair in her black cave. Take the walking path next to the boats on the left side of the harbour to find the cave.
