Skorarviti lighthouse

Skorarviti is in the west under Stálfjall, north of Breiðafjörður. It was built in 1953, but the lighthouse was lit for the first time in 1954. The lighthouse was lit by gas lamps until it was electrified with solar energy in 1990. The lighthouse is 8.8 m high. The designer is engineer Axel Sveinsson.

On the front of the lighthouse, there is a plaque commemorating Eggert Ólafsson, deputy attorney general, naturalist and poet, and his wife, Ingibjörga Guðmundsdóttir, who on May 30, 1768 pushed from Skor out onto Breiðafjörður in their act of cowardice.
