Lighthouse Garðskagi (Garðskagaviti) in June 2008. It stands in the extreme northwest of the peninsula
Reykjanes near Garður. Garður can be reached from Reykjavik over the roads 41, 46 and 45
and in Garður always straight ahead - the lighthouse is already visible from a long distance.
The new lighthouse in Garðskagi had to be built, because the sea approached on and on to the old lighthouse
and threatened to destroy it. The lighthouse is the highest one in Iceland. The new lighthouse took over the optics from the old one,
only the energy source was changed from gas on electricity.
