The Church of Alpha the Utterly Indifferent, from “The Songs of Distant Earth” by Arthur C. Clarke?
For those wondering, this is Hallgrímskirkja, a church in Reykjavík.
I wonder if it was inspired by the columnar jointing formations you can find in Iceland?
They had this outside the last time I went.
I’ve played enough Dark Souls to know the guy in the armour is about to get his shit fucked up.
10/10 would go to Iceland again.
I got to do 24 hours in Reykjavik for a layover in early winter. Absolutely wonderful city
Next time, take at least 10 days and rent a car. Go to this restaurant. Die happy.
We did a week and did day tours. Not as adventurous but still a blast. Definitely want to go again and drive the golden circle!
Actually my dream trip is the 10 day lap of Iceland, so yes, 1000% I will. Also, saved for future reference 😊
This restaurant is single handedly responsible for completely 180ing my attitudes on seafood. It broke me lmfao. I’m so thankful I was brought there.
Haha that’s dangerous news - I am already a passionate seafood fan but alas, live in the dry lands.
Another comment you said you did your Master’s there. Can I ask if you enjoyed the experience? I’ve wondered about doing a European masters but Iceland had never crossed my mind until today
Do it. Dm me. I’m currently in an airport but will yap when I can. I actually did the program in Scotland but my study site was in Iceland. I think I did apply to Iceland though. I took Icelandic in college. :] It’s a cool place.
Roughly how much did the 10-day trip cost?
I did my Master’s on a site in the region a decade ago. Suppose it depends on what you want.
I live in Ísafjörður, this is the only place where I will eat fish by choice, well, this place and if me or my dad cook it.
Blessuð! Já, I believe it. One day I’ll be back. :)
Great views up at the top of the tower
I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures
Umm, wow!
Feel like this comment deserves more attention.
Would you share any of those photos?
Incredible.
This one is probably my favourite
That is hauntingly beautiful… and an incredible shot! Thank you so much for sharing!
I second the photo sharing
Just replied to the other comment
I was about to say! I’ve been there (only on the outside though, I can’t enter churches without spontaneous combustion)
Very recognizable and everyone who has ever been to Iceland has probably seen it.
…and it’s gorgeous.
The pancake truck is parked outside daily, but never open when I was there. This is religion inaccessible to the people even in viking paradise.
A very average looking church.
I’d say it’s a normal one.
Don’t be mean.
Meh, I prefer median myself:-).
It’s à la mode right now.
Ahh, you sum’ biche! I’ve now lost all confidence in my ability to catch a pun
For a second, I thought you were being smug or something? And then the whoosh dawned on me… brava
Edit: I guess I was behind the curve on that one?

Seems pretty normal to me.
Are you sure?
Within 95% confidence.
That’s actually pretty good.
It’s deistically significant to plus or minus 2 parishioners.

Apostates! May all unbelievers of the Holy Stats be stricken with plague? (Unfortunately Americans might do just that🥴🙃😭)
That seems likely
White Walkers’ church
This a doomsday church?
