Viðey, Island in Kollafjörður Bay, Iceland
The terrain of Viðey rises to 32 meters above sea level and contains grassy plains alongside rocky coastal sections across 1.6 square kilometers.
The island housed an Augustine monastery from 1225 to 1539, and later became the residence of Skuli Magnusson, who constructed his home there in the 12th century.
Nine pairs of basalt columns form the Afangar installation by Richard Serra, placed strategically along the northwest section of the island in 1988.
Ferries transport visitors from three piers in Reykjavík during summer, while winter service operates only on weekends from the Skarfabakki terminal.
The Imagine Peace Tower projects light beams annually between October 9 and December 8, marking the birth and death dates of John Lennon.
