Giganta (the Giantess) in the mountain moved to the town of Reykjanes during the family and cultural festival Night of Lights in 2008 and is now located in Black Cave at the marina in Gróf. Giganta has been settling in her nice cave which is 150 square meters in size and has a superb view over the bay of Keflavík and Faxaflói. Giganta is originally the creation of author Herdís Egilsdóttir who has written 16 stories about the little girl Sigga and her friend Giganta in the mountain, the last one describing her migration to the Town of Reykjanes. The design and making of the cave and Giganta was done by Norðanbál art group. Giganta is full-size and sits sleeping in a rocking chair in the kitchen. (
