Iceland Walking Tour - Akranesviti Lighthouse [4K]

Looking inside Akranes lighthouse and exploring its surroundings. A lighthouse in the town of Akranes in West Iceland. Special thanks to Hilmar Sigvaldsson, lighthouse keeper, who gave permission to film inside the lighthouse.
00:50 - Hjallar. Simple structures for drying and storing fish.
01:30 - Akranesviti lighthouse. Built in 1944 and standing 19m tall.
02:37 - The smaller lighthouse, built in 1918, is one of the oldest concrete lighthouses in Iceland. It served the fishing town until it was deactivated in 1947, in favor of a more massive structure.
08:14 - Inside Reykjanesviti lighthouse

Thank you all those stairs to climb.i would have given that a miss

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Pretty steep steps, have to be careful

[@deet7683]

Thank you for all your beautiful videos. I will be there early September. How is the weather then? Lots of sunlight still during that time?

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Yes still plenty of sun in september and the weather should be somewhat cool but tolerable. Nice autumn colors in some places perhaps. Þingvellir is best in autumn.

[@deet7683]

@@IcelandHotSpots Thank you so much?

[@macpatman]

Nice and calm video... no wind at all?

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Thanks, there was little wind but I was trying a new mic and wasn't satisfied with the audio.

[@karolw.5208]

What is SVITI in Icelandic - 'light', perhaps? If so, there is a surprising connection with Slavic languages, where 'swiatlo' or similar means 'light'.

[@macpatman]

Viti means lighthouse :) the icelandic word for light is ljós.

[@IcelandHotSpots]

Patrick is right. Viti is a lighthouse. A guiding light.
