About Drangnes Area Lighthouses Grímsey í Steingrímsfirði Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, 10 meters in height, was completed in 1949 on Grímsey island, the highest point at the north entrance to Steingrimsfjörður. Its lantern is red, and the tower itself is painted yellow. The focal height of the light is 82 meters, offering a geographic range of 22.9 nautical miles. The light characteristic is a single flash of white, red, or green every 10 seconds, indicating approach direction. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for vessels entering or departing Steingrimsfjörður, providing directional guidance with its color-changing sector light system that warns of hazards at the fjord's entrance.
