hill..

Iceland. Together with the mountain, a three-pronged waterfall called
Kirkjufellsfoss creates an exquisite scene straight out of fantasy.
Taking a walk through the center of town, you will come across an orca
on land. It’s actually a sculpture created by Unnsteinn
Guðmundsson and it was modeled after Thunderstorm the orca, a
male whale who often greets visitors during whale watching tours.
