Imagine Peace Tower, Memorial site in Viðey Island, Iceland
The Peace Tower consists of fifteen powerful searchlights with mirrors that create a tall column of light extending into the night sky of Reykjavik.
The monument opened on October 9, 2007, marking what would have been John Lennon's 67th birthday, with Yoko Ono leading the inauguration ceremony.
The white stone base features the words 'Imagine Peace' carved in 24 different languages, reflecting the universal message of John Lennon's vision.
The tower illuminates annually from October 9 to December 8, powered by geothermal energy from Reykjavik Energy, with the light beam reaching heights of 4000 meters.
More than 500,000 written wishes and letters to John Lennon from people worldwide rest beneath the memorial structure in the Wish Tree installation.
