Stórhöfði

It is claimed to be the windiest place in Europe,[citation needed] and holds the record for the lowest on land observation of air pressure in Europe.

[1] The name means great cape and was also the name of a street in Reykjavík's Höfði industrial area until 2015 when it was renamed Svarthöfði (black cape), which is the Icelandic term for Darth Vader.

[2] The street had formerly been named Bratthöfði, which translates as steep cape.

[3] Stórhöfði is the location of one of the oldest lighthouses in Iceland, having operated since 1906.

[4] Weather observations began at the lighthouse in 1921, which, since 1940, have been conducted at night too.
