Straumnes lighthouse

In 1919, a 20 m high iron frame lighthouse was built on Straumnes, north of the mouth of Aðalvík, but the stranding of the ship Godafoss under Grænuhlíð in 1916 accelerated the construction of a lighthouse on Straumnes. By 1930, the iron frame had deteriorated and concrete was placed around it. In 1993 it was electrified with solar energy and in 1995 an automatic weather observatory was installed. The lighthouse is 23.3 m high. The designers are Thorvald Krabbe, Sigurður Thoroddsen, Benedikt Jónasson and Axel Sveinsson engineers.
