Bjargtanga lighthouse

A lighthouse was first built on Látrabjargi in 1913, but in 1948 a new lighthouse was built. It had a gas light fixture until it was electrified with energy from light engines. In 1985, utility electricity was brought in, but an automatic lighting machine provides back-up power in the event of a power outage. An automatic weather observation station was commissioned in 1995. The lighthouse is 5.9 m high. The designers are Axel Sveinsson, an engineer, and Einar Stefánsson, a house designer.
