A cylindrical concrete tower, 15 meters high, stands at Selvogur, Iceland. This structure, featuring a lantern and gallery, was built in 1931, though a light was first established here in 1919. The tower was renovated and repainted in 2008, presenting a distinctive appearance. Its light emits a single white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
