Iceland XXXVIII – Gróttuviti Lighthouse │ Part 134

* * * The lighthouse was originally built in 1897, a new one was built in 1947 * * * Grótta is a tied island at the extreme end of Seltjarnarnes in the Capital Region of Iceland. During high tide the tombolo is completely submerged, turning Grótta into an island. The island is accessible by foot during low tide, giving people a window of about six hours to visit the island. Grótta and the region close by is a popular outdoor recreational area. Grótta became a nature reserve in 1974 and it is forbidden to visit it during nesting season, from 1 May to 15 July. There are about 450 couples of arctic terns in Grótta. A lighthouse was originally built in 1897, a new one was built in 1947. The local search and rescue association is named after long term lighthouse keeper Albert Þorvarðarson (1910–1973). The main house has been deserted since 1970. The municipality acquired the buildings in 1994 and they are now used as occasional facilities for groups on school trips. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://youtu.be/qxhYbYdcbT8 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 Walk to the Grótta island at the sandy Beach 00:12 Lighthouse Gróttuviti 00:47 The Boathouse 01:14 Boat tugs 01:22 Walk to the lighthouse 01:27 Apartment buildings and the lighthouse 02:58 Gróttuviti 03:34 Docks and the sled on the island inspected 04:31 Walk back at the Beach to the starting point - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
