About Hólmsberg Lighthouse
The Hólmsberg Lighthouse is a 13-meter concrete tower built in 1956. Its exterior is painted orange, topped with a red lantern and gallery. The cylindrical structure stands on a promontory located 2.5 kilometers northwest of Keflavík, Iceland. Its light, visible for 16.4 nautical miles, emits two white, red, or green flashes every 20 seconds. The lighthouse's operational focal height is 36 meters. Visitors can access the site, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels navigating the waters near Keflavík, particularly those approaching or departing the port of Helguvík, which is 0.6 kilometers away. Its directional light system helps mariners safely navigate around the promontory.
