THE VIKING STATUE IN GIMLI

When we went to Gimli for groceries this weekend, we also went in search of where they moved the Viking statue to.  

This statue has been a fixture in Gimli for many many years and we had heard it was moved and we wondered where they had moved it to. 

It commemorates the heritage of the original founders of the town.  I think it is as much a part of Gimli as all the boats in the harbour.

It is still situated on an elevated area as it was in the past, but now it is surrounded by paths and gardens.  

It also has commemorative benches to sit and view the lake.  

It is adjacent to the walking path that runs along the water front to the harbour and the beach beyond. 

You can view the statue from many angles

Plus walk right up for those photo ops. 

VERY NICELY DONE.
