A sightseeing platform located next to a lake which formed as a result of subsidence following a series of earthquakes in the winter of 1975 to 1976 – thereafter known as Skjálftavatn (Earthquake Lake). The lake and the area surrounding it are popular nesting places for birds. The spiral-shaped design of the platform was inspired by a sheep-gathering fence located nearby. Initially a concrete ramp it, because of logistics, evolved into a larch wood construction which becomes grey and weathered over time.
