Perched on top of a tall slither of rock, six miles off the coast of Iceland, ĂrĂdrangaviti Lighthouse is considered by many an introvertâs dream home and a wonderful placed to be in case of a zombie apocalypse.
ĂrĂdrangaviti, which translates as âthree rocksâ, was built in 1939, soon before the start of World War 2. Nowadays, the lighthouse is accessible by helicopter and even features a small helipad to make landing there easier, but back in 1938, when work on it began, helicopters hadnât yet been invented. Brave workers had to to scale the 120-foot-high rock to reach the pinnacle, where they laid the foundation of the lighthouse by hand, while ensuring that the strong winds and rain didnât send them plunging into the freezing North Atlantic Ocean.
