About Reykjavík
Reykjavík is the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign nation, sitting on the edge of an island nation that is essentially Iceland-as-metaphor: stark, beautiful, occasionally hostile, and utterly singular. Colorful corrugated iron houses with steep roofs crowd narrow streets, while modern architecture (the Harpa concert hall, the Hallgrímskirkja church) thrusts into the sky. The city pulses with nightlife out of proportion to its size, and the cultural scene is disproportionately dynamic.
