In  Icelandic, Solfar means "sun voyager."  The sculpture by that name in the  photo is by Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931-1989), and is located by the sea in the center of Reykjavík. As described by Jon Gunnar, Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. It contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.

"The promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom." No words could better express the mission of Solfar LLC, as we extend the heroic explorations of our Nordic ancestors into the new unknowns of the twenty-first century.

The Valknut is one of the traditional symbols associated with the Norse God Odin. Similar symbols were used on urns by the Anglo-Saxons, and were found on memorial stones like the Tängelgarda Stone and Stora Hammer stones of Gotland, Sweden, as well as among the artifacts at the Oseberg Ship burial in Norway.

The term valknut derives from the combination of two Old Norse words: valt (warriors) and knut (knot). The cumulative sum of all three triangles’ sides (nine) represent the nine nights that Odin hung on the World Tree Yggdrasil. The World Tree, Yggdrassil, in turn connects to all nine worlds (Midgard, Musplelheim, Niflheim, Asgard, Vanaheim, Jotunheim, Swartalfheim, Alfheim, and Helheim) of the Norse traditional cosmology.
