Standing at the end of Skólavörðustígur street and in front of Hallgrímskirkja church is one of the best-known landmarks in Reykjavík, the statue of Leifur Eiríksson. He look to the west to the Ocean. 

The statue which was donated to the Icelandic nation by the US Congress in 1930 to commemorate the millennium of the Alþingi. Alþingi was first convened at Þingvellir in the year 930 A.D. Parliamentary meetings were during the time of the Vikings, with the last meeting held in 1798. While the statue was presented as a gift to Iceland in the year 1930 it was not until the summer of 1932 that it had been erected in its current location. The statue was unveiled on July 17 1932 by the US Ambassador to Iceland.
At the time Hallgrimskirkja church had not yet been built: Its construction only started in 1945. Which means the statue had been standing in its current location for 13 years when the construction of Hallgrímskirkja even began.

Leifur is probably the best known hero of Viking age Iceland, the first European to arrive in America:
Leifur’s voyage to America in the year 1000 preceded the Christopher Columbus’ voyage by roughly half a millennia.
According to the Sagas of Icelanders, he established a Norse settlement at Vinland, tentatively identified with the Norse L'Anse aux Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland in modern-day Canada.
