Description
The lighthouse, Þrídrangaviti, is located in Iceland's Westman Islands about 10 km from the shore. It is probably the most isolated lighthouse in the world and is precariously perched at 36 metres (118 ft) atop a rock pillar with the wild waves of the cold North Atlantic Ocean raging below. Today, the lighthouse is accessible by helicopter and even has a small helipad for "easy" landing, but in 1938, when construction began. The brave workers had to climb the 36-metres high rock to reach the top, where they laid the lighthouse's foundations by hand, while making sure that strong winds and rain did not plunge them into the icy North Atlantic Ocean.
For the record, as this lighthouse is uninhabited, there is no help from the windy weather conditions.
The helipad measures 5.5 m x 5 m (18x16 ft)
Nearest airfield: Vestmannaeyjafluvöllur
ICAO code: BIVM
Recommended helicopter: Airbus H125

Good flights and good luck,

edit: a fictional ICAO code and a c&d parking spot would be nice in an update :)

I love going there in the sim but I suspect I would not enjoy ACTUALLY going there LOL. It is a damnable place.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and like you, having seen the real videos, it's true that the place doesn't look very welcoming.
Have a good flight ;)
Amicalement,

had a miserable time trying to find a solid spot on that helipad. Otherwise a nice bit of scenery.

Truly epic and quite the challenge especially in bad weather. One of my favorite add ons. Well done sir.

Today I made a trip from Vestmannaeyjafluvöllur to check out this lighthouse. I had live weather enabled and the weather was very grim, it made the lighthouse and rocks look even more isolated and forbidding :)
