Reykjavík Approach Lighthouses Lighthouse

This 7-meter concrete post lighthouse is part of the Reykjavík Approach Lighthouses. It is located on the waterfront of the industrial harbor at Straumsvík, near Hafnarfjordur. The structure features a red triangular daymark situated above a square white concrete equipment shelter. Its light emits a green occulting signal that occurs once every 3 seconds. The site is open to visitors, though access to the tower itself is restricted.

Why it matters: This rear range light, working with a front light, provides essential alignment for commercial vessels entering the industrial harbor at Straumsvík. Its function is critical for safe navigation through the approach channels into this busy port.
