Geocache Description:

The small size cache is rather easy to find, enjoy the view while walking up

and have eyes open for whales and porpoises that can be ocassionally

seen in the fjord. If you have a musical instrument in your car

don´t hesitate to bring it along to the cache location. Otherwise vocal cords will do ;)


TVÍSÖNGUR is a sound sculpture by German artist Lukas Kühne. It is built of concrete

and consists of five interconnected domes of different sizes.

The heights of the domes are between 2 and 4 meters and they cover an area

of about 30 square meters. Each dome has its own resonance that corresponds to a tone

in the Icelandic musical tradition of five-tone harmony and works as a natural amplifier to that tone.

The round form is chosen for its acoustic properties as well as its visual function in the landscape.

There is a little souvenir as reward for FTF, hope you like it :)
