Langanes Essentials

Langanes is a 40-kilometer-long peninsula in northeast Iceland characterized by steep sea cliffs and a history of remote settlement. This list features the Fontur lighthouse at the peninsula's tip, the abandoned early 20th-century fishing village of Skálar, and the 19th-century stone parsonage at Sauðanes. Visitors can explore the wreckage of a US Navy R4D-6 aircraft from 1969 and the remains of a Cold War-era NATO radar station on Heiðarfjall mountain.
