Four Winds

Located at the intersection of Heiðarbraut and Garðbraut stands the sculpture Fjórir vindar (e. Four Winds), created by Helgi Valdimarsson as a gift to the municipality in 2012. The sculpture is a compass-like structure consisting of four female heads, each facing one of the cardinal directions. The tallest head looks towards the north, followed by south, east and west. 

Helgi Valdimarsson, who lives and works in the town, has contributed several other works of art that can be seen in various parts of the town. These include the The Sailor‘s Wife, who stands outside the Folk Museum in Garðskagi, and Mangi from Mel, who stands at Sjólyst.
