Luigi MorbidelliHeimskautsgerðið, the Arctic Henge, at Sunset, Iceland<br> <br> Heimskautsgerðið, also known as the Arctic Henge, is an impressive and unique structure located in the northern part of Iceland, near the town of Raufarhöfn. It is an ambitious and artistic project that aims to celebrate the Arctic environment and the cultural heritage of the region.<br> The Arctic Henge is designed in the shape of a large circle, with a series of stone pillars arranged in a way that reflects the natural elements and the celestial bodies. The structure is inspired by ancient Norse mythology and the connection between the Earth and the cosmos. It serves as a symbolic representation of the Arctic's beauty and its significance in human history and culture.<br> One of the most fascinating aspects of Heimskautsgerðið is its alignment with the sun and stars. The design incorporates solar and lunar calendars, allowing visitors to experience the changing seasons and the phenomena of the Midnight Sun and Polar Night. During certain times of the year, the sun's rays illuminate specific parts of the structure, creating a magical atmosphere that draws visitors from around the world.<br> As a cultural landmark, Heimskautsgerðið not only serves as a tourist attraction but also as a venue for various events and gatherings that promote awareness of environmental issues and the importance of preserving Arctic landscapes. The Arctic Henge embodies a fusion of art, nature, and spirituality, making it a significant addition to Iceland's rich tapestry of natural wonders and cultural heritage.<br> In summary, Heimskautsgerðið stands as a testament to the beauty and mystique of the Arctic, inviting visitors to reflect on the interconnectedness of nature, culture, and the cosmos.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/heimskautsgerðið?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heimskautsgerðið</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/heimskautsgerdid?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heimskautsgerdid</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arctichenge?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arctichenge</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/iceland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iceland</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sunset?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sunset</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cloudy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cloudy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cloudysky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cloudysky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rocks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rocks</a> <br> <br> www.luigimorbidelli.com
Marcio Aleksandravicius<p>Two nights ago, near the northernmost point of Iceland, the night sky exploded with the northern lights and a spectacular fireball, above the Arctic Henge monument, when a tennis-ball sized space rock entered the earth atmosphere and burned at an altitude of 60-90 km, becoming as bright as the full moon for a moment. Such meteors are very rare to witness.</p><p>Credits: Babak Tafreshi</p><p>instagram.com/babaktafreshi/<br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/meteor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meteor</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/fireball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fireball</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/arctichenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arctichenge</span></a></p>
