About Arnarnes Lighthouse
Completed in 1921, Arnarnes Lighthouse is a 6-meter square tower constructed of corrugated iron, painted yellow with a red lantern. It stands atop a steep promontory about 5 kilometers north of Suðavík, on a bluff overlooking highway 61. The lighthouse has a focal height of 60 meters and a geographic range of 20.1 nautical miles. Its light emits a white, red, or green signal with three flashes every 10 seconds. The tower itself is closed to the public, though the site is accessible.
Why it matters: Arnarnes Lighthouse marks the entrance to Skutulsfjörður from Ísafjörður, providing guidance for vessels navigating this important inlet.
