Þúfa

Þúfa (th-oo-fha, meaning tussock) is an 8m, perfectly round, grassy mound made from about 4080 tonnes of gravel and covered in grass. This subtle but grand piece of public art – it's one of the largest pieces of public art in Iceland – comes from Ólöf Nordal, the same artist who created the Kvika Footbath on the Seltjarnarnes peninsula. Climb the hill for sweeping views of Reykjavík's harbor and the bay, Faxaflói. And ponder the reminder of the country’s rich fishing history – it's topped with a style of hut that would have historically been used to dry fish.
