About Kambanes Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1922, stands 11 meters tall on a promontory 5 kilometers east of Breiðdalsvík. The yellow cylindrical tower is topped with a red lantern. Its light emits four flashes, cycling through white, red, and green every 20 seconds from a focal height of 35 meters. The geographic range of the light is 16.2 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, which is located near the nearest port of Stodhvarfjordur, 2.1 kilometers away, but the tower itself is not open to the public.
Why it matters: The Kambanes lighthouse is essential for safe navigation along Iceland's eastern coast, particularly for vessels approaching or departing Breiðdalsvík. Its directional light provides guidance around the promontory in these often-turbulent waters.
