Thridrangaviti Lighthouse

The Thridrangaviti Lighthouse stands on a narrow rock pillar rising 40 meters above the Atlantic Ocean, with concrete walls facing strong maritime winds.

Construction workers completed this remarkable structure in 1939, drilling into solid rock and installing iron chains to create access paths for building materials.

Local fishermen from the Vestmannaeyjar islands referred to the location as their navigation point, while British trawler crews named it Three Fingers.

Access to the lighthouse requires helicopter transportation, as the structure includes a designated landing pad for maintenance crews and equipment delivery.

The lighthouse sits atop one of four rock formations, with the main pillar hosting the 4-meter-tall building that operates on solar power since 1993.
