The Arctic Henge is a unique monument located near Raufarhöfn in Northeast Iceland. Inspired by Norse mythology, astronomy, and the connection between humanity, nature, and the universe, the structure is built from concrete and designed as a circular monument.
The monument is being constructed in phases and is intended to interact with the sun, shadows, and the changing seasons. Openings and gateways within the henge align with specific times of the year, such as solstices and equinoxes, linking the structure to the natural cycles of the Earth.
The Arctic Henge is both an artwork and a cultural project that has gained international attention. It has become a popular destination for visitors seeking a unique experience, contemplation, and a sense of connection in one of Iceland’s most remote regions.
