The Arctic Henge Raufarhöfn
In Raufarhöfn, one of the most remote and northernmost villages in Iceland, a stone’s throw from the Arctic Circle, the Arctic Henge is under construction — A giant circle with 6 meter high stone gates that face the main directions and a 10 meter high center column. It’s roots lie in innovator Erlingur Thoroddsen’s speculations about the possibility of making use of the endless expanse with nothing on the horizon and the midnight sun. He recruited the artist Haukur Halldórsson and together they created a totally unique and captivating concept, deeply rooted in northern mythology…

Similar to its ancient predecessor, Stonehenge, the Arctic Henge is like a huge sundial, aiming to capture the sunrays, cast shadows in precise locations and capture the light between aligned gateways.

Blue hour at this strange place in Raufarhöfn. Here the Arctic Circle lies just off the coast and locates the northernmost town on the Icelandic mainland.
The Heimskautsgerðið - The Arctic Henge is a monument to Asatru, the beliefs of the Scandinavians.
Looking forward to revisit this place in summer, when the midnight sun casts long shadows and aligns between the arches.

Let’s welcome the winter solstice!
☀️❄️
We love the play of light during these magical dark days.
There’s an average of five hours of full daylight with slightly longer periods of dawn and dusk on each end. For this reason, Icelanders put up their Christmas lights early during the month to brighten up these dark days. On the 21st of December, commonly known as the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year occurs with only four hours of full daylight.

“The sun turned south,
The moon did shine;
Her right hand held
The sun knew not
His proper sphere;
The stars knew not
Their proper place;
The moon knew not
Her proper power.
Then all the powers
Went to the throne,
The holy gods,
And held consult:
Night and cock-crowing
Their names they give,
Morning also,
And noon-day tide,
And afternoon,
The years to tell.”
Excerpt from The Voluspa
Translated 1819 by
Ebenezer Henderson
The Arctic Henge of Iceland (loosely depicted in the first image) is a monument dedicated to Norse pagan beliefs & was inspired by the poem Voluspa.

AN EPIC NIGHT OF AURORA AT THE ARCTIC HENGE! The Arctic Henge was a place high on my list of spots to visit while in Iceland & one spot I definitely wanted to try really hard to capture the Aurora Borealis over. After a few nights of thick clouds killing any chance of aurora action & myself keeping a close eye on places that may open up to some clear nights ahead I noticed that while most of Iceland would be covered by clouds right up North in one of Icelands most remote northern villages Raufarhöfn where the Arctic Henge is located it looked like a solid window of zero clouds for a good 24h. So that was all I needed to make the 6h round trip off track in the hope of seeing the northern lights at this epic location. When we arrived it was clearing & the cloud forecast was good & the Aurora predicted high KP was so so but what I learnt in Iceland is if it's clear look up & ya almost sure to see something with ya camera at least. It didn't take long after dark to get that 1st ribbon of green stretching across the sky & what I didn't expect was some of the most insane lights in the sky I have ever seen. We had multiple short bursts of insane activity with super fast moving lights with crazy purple colours pulsing in the sky. Now that's one way to not feel the -20° temps.

__________________________
Die künstlich erschaffene Version von Stonehenge schrappt mit ihrer Lage auf 66° Nord nur knapp am Polarkreis vorbei (2km von der Küste beginnt er, um genau zu sein) und liefert neben allerlei Inspiration aus den Sagas auch einen spektakulären Anblick. Ich wollte die massiven Steinbauten unbedingt sehen und war mir dabei zu 100% sicher, dass ich enttäuscht sein würde. Ich war es nicht. Vielleicht lag es am Stand der Sonne, vielleicht an der Weite, die diesen fast schon merkwürdigen Platz umgibt, vielleicht an der Tatsache, dass wir gänzlich allein waren - aber ich mochte es dort sehr.
Auch wenn hier eine Sehenswürdigkeit im Grunde rein für den Tourismus geschaffen wurde, so hatte ich doch das Gefühl, einen kleinen Blick in die Vergangeheit zu werfen. Elf Meter hoch ist der Hauptbogen in der Mitte, geschaffen auf Basaltquadern. Tatsächlich wurde das Teil erst 2016 fertiggestellt, wenn man dort steht könnte es aber auch 1000 Jahre früher gewesen sein.
Leider ist der Ort Raufarhöfn (und speziell der zugehörige Campingplatz) wirklich keine Herzensempfehlung und die Fahrt zum Steinkreis ein gewaltiger Umweg auf der Route von Nord nach Ost (wenn man sonst nichts anderes sehen möchte). Ich erzähle euch aber bald von dem ganzen Tag, den wir im nordöstlichsten Teil Islands verbracht haben und vielleicht findet ihr ein bisschen Inspiration und Antrieb, Artic Henge ebenfalls einen Besuch abzustatten, wenn ihr euch das nächste (oder erste) Mal in Island herumtreibt. <3
----------------------
PS: Ich gehe ein, mit 33°C kann mein Körper absolut nicht mehr umgehen. Was gäbe ich gerade für 'nen Köpper in einen Bergsee, stattdessen arbeite ich an dem letzten Feinschliff meiner Seite, die morgen dann endlich und wirklich online geht. 😀
The days are long like the river,
.
and I find myself surrounded by stones,
.
again,
.
as it rushes over me.
.
Which path do I choose when they lead me to the same destination?
.
Something is in the air here,
.
infinite;
.
fleeting;
.
I welcome each part with open arms.

‘Spaceship’
What planet are we on again? Oh yeah, Planet Iceland of course! I knew that when exploring Arctic Henge in the middle of nowhere that I envisioned this sort of shot. The remoteness of the area in combination with the Nordic architecture makes you feel like you’re on Mars discovering ancient alien artifacts👽
Arctic Henge is actually these mega structures aligned in a circle similar to Stonehenge. It began construction in 2004 and isn’t even close to being finished! Upon completion, it will have gigantic stone walls encircling the arches along with dozens more structures. The whole encirclement will work as a gigantic sundial resembling the Roman Coliseum. Now imagine our ancestors discovering that thousands of years from now...and wondering why the hell we built it 🤣

When is the best time to see the Northern Lights?
There’s both a simple and complicated answer to that question. The simple answer is: From September to mid-April, or when the nights are dark and cold.
That means this season is near it’s end. They’ll be back in September.

The days in December are very short—that is something you will notice right away. There’s an average of five hours of full daylight with slightly longer periods of dawn and dusk on each end. For this reason, Icelanders put up their Christmas lights early during the month to brighten up these dark days. On the 21st of December, commonly known as the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year occurs with only four hours of full daylight. It is important for you to keep this in mind when making your travel plans in Iceland during the month of December.
