Iceland's Lighthouses on the Green Map

As a part of developing the Green Map of Iceland, Nature.is has gathered information on all lighthouses around the island from the Icelandic Maritime Administration and made a new Green Map Lighthouse Group wich belongs to “Public Works & Landmarks“ on the Green Map.

Although the Green Map System did not have an icon for lighthouses, we made a new group and designed a new icon because Icelandic lighthouses are not only important and interesting as functional constructions, but they also play a significant role as a destination in nature.

There are 110 lighthouses all around the country located on the Green Map. If you should have any questions or input concerning lighthouses in Iceland, please contact us at nature@nature.is.

The Green Map Icon Lighthouse implies:
“A lighthouse is a tower, building, or framework designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire and used as an aid to navigation and to pilots at sea“.

See the Green Map group Lighthouse on the Green Map of Iceland.
