in 1930), and in the background is the tallest building in Iceland and

As pointed on by the anonymous commenter, this is Leif Eríkson rather than Eric the Red. The statue is just as cool in any case.
Comments
This is not a statue of Eric the red, but his son Leif the lucky, who found America and had the good sense to loose it again.
