There’s something about the position of Reykjavík’s city
centre—perched on a hill, with the sea and mountains on
all sides—that invites daydreams about seeing it from above.
Standing at the top of Skólavörðustígur, the flat top of Mount
Esja seems just a small gravity-defying jump away, over the
rippling, steely waters of the Faxaflói bay.
