I didn't find many geo trophies in Reykjavik. I tried my luck with the Parliament Building thinking there may be a benchmark or some measurement paraphernalia.
But I didn't find much: just a little benchmark to keep me keen.
I knew I'd have more luck at Hallgrimskirkja Church.
This is the only trig pillar I could source on the internet. It's Danish but has no date on it. Presumably it dates to pre independence (so pre 1944).
The metal dial twizzled. Hours of fun for geodesists.
