Pormodssker (Thormodhssker) Lighthouse
Iceland
The light is situated on a small rocky outcrop known as Thormodh's Skerry in the Faxafloi about 13 kilometres north west of Akranes. Again like many Icelandic lighthouses very little information is available. This position is very isolated and can only be accessed by boat.
