Message from Aron Tómas Guðmannsson

The Old Akranes Lighthouse in Iceland is a picturesque spot that's perfect for photography enthusiasts and adventurers alike. Located in the charming town of Akranes on the west coast, this historic lighthouse and nearby abandoned shipwreck offer unique photo opportunities and a touch of mystery. The lighthouse, one of the oldest concrete structures in Iceland, stands proudly on a rugged cliff overlooking the sea, while the shipwreck adds a fascinating element to the coastal landscape. Whether you're chasing the Northern Lights or simply exploring new sights, Akranes is definitely worth a visit for those seeking a bit of Icelandic charm and history.
