At the tip of the Arnarfj枚r冒ur, local artist Sam煤el J贸nsson lived out his remaining years at a remote farm in Sel谩rdalur, and filled his days by creating a series of 鈥榥aive鈥, cartoonlike sculptures. Visitors can peruse the surreal works: a flamboyant house, a circle of lions (created from a postcard Sam煤el saw of the Alhambra), an ornate church and Sam煤el鈥檚 home.
The 20km drive west from B铆ldudalur along Rte 619 beside Arnarfj枚r冒ur is absolutely magnificent. The tiny gravel track rims soaring mountains, lush pastured valleys and untouched beaches, and looks onto the churning fjord and incredible landscape on its northern side. Towards sunset and on partly cloudy days, the light shifts continually, and rainbows often form.
