About Reykjavík Norðurgarði Lighthouse
Also known as: Reykjavík Norðurgarði (North Mole Head)
This square, yellow tower constructed of iron stands 4 meters tall, with its light positioned 7 meters above the water. It emits a single green flash every 2 seconds, visible for 9.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located at the end of the north breakwater for Reykjavík's main harbor, on the west side of the city. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Reykjavík, 1.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the northern extent of the breakwater, aiding safe entry and exit into Reykjavík's busy harbor. Its distinctive yellow, square iron design makes it a recognizable landmark for local mariners.
