About Skarfagarðs Lighthouse
Also known as: Skarfagarðs (Skarfagarth)
A 4-meter tall square tower with a lantern and gallery, Skarfagarðs lighthouse stands at the extremity of the Skarfagarðs jetty. This structure shelters Reykjavik's Viðey ferry terminal. Painted yellow, the tower features a focal height of 8 meters. It emits a single green flash every 2 seconds, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Its nearest port is Reykjavik, just 0.1 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe operation of the Viðey ferry, acting as a navigational aid at the end of the Skarfagarðs jetty for vessels approaching and departing the terminal in downtown Reykjavik.
