Ring of Bjólfur is a circular viewing platform planned for construction 650m over sea level in Seydisfjordur, eastern Iceland. The simple concrete structure sits on top of the rugged landscape and hovers over the edge offering a spectacular view over the fjord and to the Atlantic Ocean. A 360° experience leads the visitors to explore the views of the mountains around, the town, the valley and the peak of Mount Bjólfur above.
