Afterwards we will visit the statue garden of Einar Jónsson and learn about the norse god myths before walking through the streets of Thingholt hill towards the Reykjavik City Pond. We will feed the many ducks, geese and swans that swarm the northern end of the pond, great fun for kids and grown ups alike.
Continuing across the pond into City Hall we will visit the super sized topographical map of Iceland as your guide will explain a little bit about Iceland's fascinating geology and volcanic history.
