About Krossnes Lighthouse
Krossnes Lighthouse, built in 1926, is a 9-meter tall cylindrical concrete tower painted yellow. It stands on a promontory eight kilometers northwest of Grundarfjörður, Iceland. The structure features a lantern and gallery, with its light positioned 19 meters above sea level. Its operational light emits four flashes of white, green, or red every 20 seconds. This lighthouse is situated on what appears to be a farm and serves the waters off the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Why it matters: The directional light from Krossnes Lighthouse is particularly important for vessels approaching Grundarfjörður, warning them of the promontory and guiding them through specific channels.
