About Alterneset Lighthouse
This 10-meter wooden lighthouse, established in 1905, stands on six piles off a promontory northwest of Mosjøen in Norway's Nordland region. Its lantern room, painted white with a red roof, emits a directional light that flashes white or red every 6 seconds. The geographic range of the light is 8.9 nautical miles. While the site is accessible by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Mosjoen, located 2.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for safe navigation in the Vefsnfjord, particularly around the promontory it marks, guiding vessels through this section of the waterway.
