Iceland’s psychedelic Stonehenge
- Alex3917 10y agoGiven that Iceland supposedly has psychedelic lichens, I was hoping this story would be more literal.
- RangerScience 10y agoIt's called "Arctic Henge" (according to the article) and although the artist died a little under a year ago, apparently some people are working with the government to complete it. This quote stood out, about the artist: " As Thoroddsen told us, “What has never happened before can always happen again.” "

- Nursie 10y agoCool. Never been to the real stonehenge (though am UK resident) but I have been to two reproductions. There's a small one at "Window on the World" in Shenzhen, and a full sized remake in Esperance in Western Australia.
- hwayern 10y agoWould be fascinating to see the different "Stonehenges" around the world.

- Nursie 10y agoHeh, never heard of that one! The one in WA doesn't seem to have a wiki page but is here - http://esperancestonehenge.com.au/ http://esperancestonehenge.com.au/
- mikestew 10y agoIn addition to the Maryhill WW I memorial, I've also been to Carhenge: http://carhenge.com http://carhenge.com. One of these days I'll have to get to the original (or at least most famous) one.

- DanBC 10y agoIf you get the chance it's interesting to compare Stonehenge (well known, much loved, very impressive structure, mostly preserved but that means you don't get close to it) with Avebury (bigger circles, stones were removed to build house, you can walk around it and touch stones).
- golemotron 10y agoIn the 90s a rock band made a miniature one and took it on tour with them.
