About Drýafjörður and Súgandafjörður Lighthouses Lighthouse
A square concrete tower, standing 6 meters tall, was constructed in 1920 at the western tip of Iceland's Svalvogar peninsula. The tower, painted orange with a red lantern, features a gallery and emits two long white, red, or green flashes every 20 seconds. Its focal plane is 52 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 19 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated between the Arnarfjörður and Drýafjörður fjords. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels navigating the fjords and coastal waters of the Svalvogar peninsula. Its sector light provides critical directional information for safe passage through this area.
