Vattarnestangi lighthouse in Eastern Iceland
Vattarnestangi lighthouse overlooking the Reydarfjordur fjord in Eastern Iceland. In 1912 a lighthouse was erected on Vattarnestangi at Reydarfjördur. The building was based on the drawings of engineer Thorvald Krabbe. The lighthouse was a cylindrical concrete tower, 3.3 m in height up to the balcony around the lantern and 2.4 m in diameter. The lantern and the gas equipment came from Sweden and the lighthouse was fitted with a 500 mm lens. In 1957, a new lighthouse was built on Vattarnestangi. It is 12.3 meters high and has the same lantern as the old lighthouse. The height of the lantern above sea level is 26 meters. The lighthouse was run on electricity from the power grid while gas was used as an alternative energy source. Engineer Axel Sveinsson designed the lighthouse.
