O
Rýchle fakty: A narrow column of intense white light climbs into the sky, powered by 15 xenon lamps that punch through low clouds and can be spotted from miles away. Expect a short ferry of roughly 20 minutes to leave you on a windswept shore where seabirds wheel and basalt crunches underfoot.
Zaujímavosti: Yoko Ono arranged for the light to burn annually between October 9 and December 8, commemorating John Lennon's life, and the beam is also lit on New Year's Eve and a handful of other meaningful dates. From the shore you can hear a low electrical hum, feel a subtle vibration underfoot and watch the beam slice the clouds into silver ribbons, a quiet spectacle that often draws small, hushed gatherings.
Insiderské tipy
- Dress in windproof layers and waterproof shoes, weather changes quickly on the exposed shore.
- Bring a tripod or steady surface for night photos of the Imagine Peace Tower and the Reykjavík skyline.
- Check the official lighting schedule before planning a night visit, the beam is only lit on specific dates.
- Arrive on the first or last ferry of the day to avoid midday tour groups and enjoy quieter walking trails.

Robil som tieto prehliadky v desiatkach miest a boli vrcholom takmer každej cesty. Ak navštívite Reykjavík, Iceland, urobte to v prvý deň. Poďakujete mi neskôr.
