    An Icelandic mystery

    A friend of mine came back from a trip to Iceland and took this photo as he couldn’t figure out what it was.
    It seems to mention the distance to Uranus. He said he saw quite a few others, too, but my Google-fu was weak and I couldn’t find anything on them.

    Anyone who knows more or who is better at searching the internet?

    I'd have to imagine it's (part of) a scale model of the solar system.

    There's also one of those Solar System scale models on the Falkland Islands. https://www.falklandislands.com/thin...e-walk-p673811
