Long Description:

One of the most interesting sights in Reykjavík is the sculpture of a Viking ship, Sólfar (Sun Voyager) by Jón Gunnar Árn. From nearby, if you look to the northeast over the bay, on a clear day, you will be treated to this view of Esja Mountain which is about 6 miles north of Reykjavík Harbor. 

Esja is a volcanic mountain range with an elevation of about 3000 feet. It is a popular recreation area for hikers and climbers.

The single stamp souvenir sheet was issued by Iceland in 2001 to commemorate Stamp Day.
