About Kögur Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower, built in 1951, stands 8 meters tall and is painted white with a red lantern. Its focal height reaches 19 meters above sea level. The light emits a sequence of white, red, and green flashes every 15 seconds, indicating different sectors. Situated on a cape 5 kilometers northwest of Bakkagerði, Iceland, this lighthouse is operational. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels around the cape northwest of Bakkagerði, a critical point for local fishing fleets and coastal shipping in Iceland's eastern fjords. Its directional light provides precise warnings to mariners navigating the often-unpredictable waters.
