Big church

This is the big church in Reykjavik, it's the tallest building in the city. It is suppose to be shaped like lava on the sides. The lava sides are suppose to protect the people from volcano eruptions and disaster. You can go up into the church and look down over the town. Inside you can see candles people have lit to make there wishes. The statue in front of it is Leifur Eiriksson he traveled with Christopher Columbus and was the first person to travel to iceland! The Icelandic people believe that he is the founder of Iceland so they have statues everywhere to thank him for what he has done!
