How does one get to it? I see a helipad but it says it was constructed originally without one.
The first thing we had to do was create a road up to the cliff. We got together of experienced mountaineers, all from the Westman Islands. Then we brought drills, hammers, chains and clamps to secure the chains. Once they got near the top there was no way to get any grip on the rock so one of them got down on his knees, the second stood on his back, and then the third climbed on top of the other two and was able to reach the nib of the cliff above. I cannot even tell you how I was feeling whilst witnessing this incredibly dangerous procedure.
From the Wikipedia
This refers to how it was originally constructed, but it’s not clear what “a road” is or how one uses it today.
A proverbial road, lol. Please read.
Is this “road” in the room with us right now?
Not unless we’re both hanging off a terrifying cliff in Iceland
I wonder how they got the materials for building the lighthouse up there.
Apparently you just had to climb it!
I think you’re referring to how it was originally constructed, with expert climbers scaling the cliff and having to stand on each other’s shoulders to get to the top. But the article says that was to establish “a road” without any indication of what that is or how one uses it today.
It’s accessible only by helicopter. No one has ever lived there, so people only go there when it needs maintenance. It’s been automated from the “start” which was delayed due to the war.
Catapult?
Parachute?
both?
Yes, I’m wondering if helicopter is the only access currently, as well. That’s wild.

We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty…
I hope no boats approach it from the exact angle it’s hidden behind the highest piece of rock
Oh they thought of that, there’s a whole bunch of cushions glued to that side of it.
So a quick run to McDonald’s is off the cards then.
UberEATS
Yes!
Although I’d hope they are being tipped handsomely.
I’ll get them on the app…
How did they get a raft up to there, let alone scaling the cliff itself.
They wait for a terrible storm so the swells lift them up
Have you heard about helicopters?
Yes but that looks like a raft with paddles rather than a helipad.
Nope its a helipad or atleast a drop off pad. I watch a video where some folks went there a while back.
Yer fond of me lobster, ain’t ye?
Great location for a music video
