[p]In today's blog, we would like to show you another glimpse from the upcoming Iceland map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. This time, we are showcasing a selection of some beautiful churches you will be able to come across in the Land of Fire and Ice![/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/ca9fd886938ee620f8d9a8983808bb5bfc75a163.jpg"][/img][/p][p]Starting off with the Hallgrímskirkja in the capital city of Reykjavík, built in the 20th century. This church has a lot of superlatives. Its tower is 73 metres tall, the largest in the country, and it is also home to Iceland's largest organ. While you won't be able to see it up close, it is an unmistakable part of the Reykjavík skyline.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/8e53d1a996c94c880e4edf5be7c09b4f02babb5b.jpg"][/img][/p][p]On the island's northern coast, you can also find some remarkable churches. One is Akureyrarkirkja, a Lutheran church in the city of Akureyri, set on the shore of the Eyjafjörður fjord and framed by mountains. Another is Blönduóskirkja, a striking example of modern architecture in the small town of Blönduós.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/61f7e1ea0aa2e67c0ccb0f8cc50403b560c02153.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/4b6758d4c6a60f5dc03b8107cab2032056bb0298.jpg"][/img][/p][p]From Akureyri, head east to the shores of Lake Mývatn and the town of Reykjahlíð. Here stands the Reykjahlíðarkirkja, a church with a fascinating history. During the 1729 Krafla eruption, lava destroyed much of the town, but the wooden church was spared when the flow split and passed just metres from its walls. It has been rebuilt twice since.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/2f10b2c76faf3df6e15e43c213ab4f9c3d3dae31.jpg"][/img][/p][p]On Iceland's eastern coast lies the small but striking Seyðisfjarðarkirkja. One of the country's most recognisable landmarks, its distinctive colour and design have made it a favourite among visitors, especially since the street leading up to it was painted in rainbow colours.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/474d0011354bca15caf77fb809f63e912f0a2ac8.jpg"][/img][/p][p]Travelling south, you'll find Víkurkirkja, perched on a hillside above Vík. Its red roof and white walls stand out sharply against the dark volcanic landscape, making it one of the most photographed spots on Iceland's South Coast.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/d1347b59bc65807a95d1b280de162770b00415c2.jpg"][/img][/p][p]On the banks of the Ölfusá River, in the town of Selfoss, stands Selfosskirkja. Built and later expanded in the second half of the 20th century, it's worth a visit for its striking tower alone.[/p][p]Some more churches await discovery, though their surroundings are still in early stages of development, so we took the screenshots of two of them in a placeholder location. Ísafjarðarkirkja, built in 1995, is an Art Nouveau Lutheran church in the city of Ísafjörður. Húsavíkurkirkja, a wooden church built in the early 20th century in the town of Húsavík, features beautiful craftsmanship and architecture that radiate a classic Nordic charm.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/6a7eaff9a6168067012492def9e84bc93f0223d6.jpg"][/img][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4036972/257608c573a3c58264b6a97d73a57b62681c9ffb.jpg"][/img][/p][p]That's all for today!
