The menacing Yule Cat at Lækjartorg

The Lights That Shine

Now, in the darkest depths of December, our capital city, Reykjavík, is adorned with lights. Icelandic Times / Land & Saga headed downtown to capture the atmosphere on film. As darkness falls and the lights illuminate the city, Reykjavík is uniquely beautiful, radiating a festive glow every which way. Despite being the darkest time of the year, many feel Reykjavík never looks more stunning than during Advent.
