About Málmey Lighthouse
A 9-meter cylindrical concrete tower with a red lantern and gallery was first lit in 1938 on Málmey, an island forming the eastern entrance to Skagafjörður. The lighthouse stands at a focal height of 66 meters, offering a geographic range of 20.9 nautical miles. Its light displays two white, red, or green flashes every 15 seconds. The island is surrounded by sheer cliffs, with the lighthouse situated on its southeast side. The nearest port is Hofsos, 7.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe navigation into Skagafjörður, with its sector light warning vessels away from the island's sheer cliffs at the fjord's eastern entrance.
