The Hallgrímskirkja is a church in Reykjavík, Iceland. State Architect Guðjón Samúelsson's design of the church was commissioned in 1937. He is said to have designed it to resemble the basalt lava flows of Iceland's landscape.
This enchanting house is located on an island called Elliðaey near Vestmannaeyjar, a small archipelago off the south coast of Iceland. The island is uninhabited, but has a large hunting lodge, constructed in 1953. It's rumoured that in 2000 the house was given to singer, Bjork from her motherland as a “Thank You” for putting Iceland on the international map.
