About Burøynakken Lighthouse
Burøynakken Lighthouse stands on the northern tip of Burøy, an island east of Vannøy in Norway's Troms region. This 10.5-meter octagonal concrete structure is painted white with a red roof on its lantern. Its focal height reaches 27 meters, projecting a light with two white flashes every 10 seconds. The light also displays red and green sectors. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed. Its nearest port is Karlsoy, 9.3 kilometers away. The lighthouse guides vessels around this island off the northeast coast of Vannøy.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light system, which changes color, warns vessels navigating the complex and often hazardous coastal waters of this region, preventing groundings.
