Galtar lighthouse
On Keflavíkurhól between Galtar by Súgandafjörður and Skálavíkur, the first lighthouse was built in 1920. It was made according to the same design as Svalvoga Lighthouse.
In 1959, a new lighthouse was built because the old one was considered too low. The designer is engineer Eggert Steinsen. The lighthouse is 10.7 m high and built of concrete.
Energy for lighthouse lighting was obtained from light engines and from the 1960s also from a small hydroelectric station. In 1994, the lighthouse was electrified with solar energy and wind generators.
