Reykjavik Harbor, Iceland

Reykjavík's harbor has a water's-edge stage which presents musical performances. Shops sell woolens, pottery and souvenirs. Often schooners or other replica ships moor in the harbor and add interest and color to this rustic area.

A statue commemorating Ingólfur Arnarson, Iceland's first settler is located here. Landing on a shore of thermal steam, Ingólfur named the area Reykjavík, or "Smoky Bay."
