Iconic Icelandic Lighthouses

Explore the maritime heritage of Iceland's Southern Peninsula through its historic coastal beacons. This collection includes Iceland's oldest lighthouse, Reykjanesviti, and the shipwreck-surrounded Hópsnesviti near Grindavík. These structures, ranging from the bright yellow tower at Stafnes to the red-capped beacon at Vatnsnes, serve as vital navigation aids for the busy shipping lanes toward Reykjavík and Keflavík, standing against the rugged volcanic landscape of the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark.
