About Ganjeolgot Lighthouse
Also known as: Ganjeolgot (Cape Kanjol)
A cylindrical concrete tower measuring 17 meters in height, with its light at a focal plane of 35 meters, was erected in 2001. The structure is white, with an octagonal base, and includes a lantern room and gallery. This light produces a white flash that repeats every 15 seconds and can be seen up to 16.2 nautical miles away. The present tower was constructed in 2001, succeeding an original lighthouse from 1920.
Why it matters: This navigation aid assists ships on the southeastern coast of South Korea, marking the approach to the port of Ulsan.
