Sun Voyager & Imagine Peace Tower
two outstanding works of art..
Sun Voyager is a 'dream' boat sculptured by Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931 - 1989).
The Imagine Peace Tower is a memorial to John Lennon from his widow, Yoko Ono, It consists of a tall tower of light, projected from a white stone monument that has the words "Imagine Peace" carved into it in 24 languages.
The Tower consists of 15 searchlights with prisms that act as mirrors, reflecting the column of light vertically into the sky from a 10-metre wide wishing well. It often reaches cloudbase as in this case. On a clear night it can reach an altitude of 4 km. The power for the lights is provided by Iceland's unique geo-thermal energy grid.
