Stokksnes

Geographical location

Stokksnes is a peninsula in eastern Iceland.

It is located 12 kilometers east of Höfn í Hornafirði below the mountain Vestrahorn. On the headland is still a lighthouse. In 1955, the Americans built here a large radar station, which was also used by NATO. By now, most military buildings are torn down.
