Firda<p>Þristapar in Northwest Iceland is the site of the last execution in Iceland, which took place on January 12,1830. Friðrik Sigurðsson and Agnes Magnúsdóttir were sentenced to death by beheading for the murder of Natan Ketilsson and Pétur Jónsson. The site is now a memorial that tells the story behind and of the execution as well as promotes the abolishment of death penalty all over.</p><p>The weather suit the mood of the place the day of our visit. All the photos were taken at the site except for the grave. They excavated Friðrik's and Agnès' bones 104 years after the execution and had them interned at a churchyard in Vatnsnes, which we visited the next day.</p><p>More info: <a href="https://www.northiceland.is/en/place/thristapar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">northiceland.is/en/place/thris</span><span class="invisible">tapar</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/PhotoMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhotoMonday</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/FotoMontag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FotoMontag</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Iceland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iceland</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/DeathPenalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeathPenalty</span></a></p>
