Álög (Spell)

At the entrance of the town Sandgerði is a sculpture named Álög (Spell) made by Steinunn Þórarinsdóttir.

The sculpture features a person standing in front of three vertical plates that create waves in the air, depicting the strength of the sea against humans. The sea in the sculpture is made of stainless steel plates, symbolising its eternal nature. In contrast, the man is made of pot steel, which rusts and represents the impermanence of human life. The sculpture was unveiled on Sailor's Day in 1986 and serves as a memorial to the sailors from Sandgerði. It is an impressive work of art, and at night, it is beautifully illuminated, making a profound impression on the surroundings.

Visitors with a car can park in a small area next to the sculpture and walk up to it.
