The Eggs of Gledivik Sculptures (Eggin í Gleðivík)
On the west side of the harbor, about 1km from the town center is the work of Icelandic sculptor Sigurdur Gudmundsson, who is well known in Holland and other European countries.
Lined up above the shore, his impressive sculpture Eggin í Gledivik,‘The Eggs at Happy Bay’ consists of 34 large stone eggs. The artist chose stones that most resemble the eggs of common local bird species. The first one is the largest and is that of the puffin.
Nearby you'll find the yellow lighthouse Aedarsteinsviti, built in 1922. Originally lit by a paraffin lamp, it was later converted to run on gas but since 1987 has been powered by electricity.
