Reykjanesviti

The Reykjanesviti lighthouse stands 31 meters tall on the Reykjanes Peninsula, featuring white walls and a black lantern room at its summit.

Constructed in 1878 as Iceland's first lighthouse, the original structure on Valahnúkur required relocation to Bæjarfell hill by 1908 due to earthquake damage.

The lighthouse represents Iceland's maritime heritage and serves as a symbol of the nation's commitment to protecting seafarers along its coastline.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following the coastal road from Reykjanesbær, with coordinates at latitude 63.815522 and longitude -22.704544.

The structure includes a differential GPS system and radio beacon that provides correction signals to enhance navigation accuracy in the surrounding waters.
