About Haugkleppan Lighthouse
The Haugkleppan lighthouse is a 5-meter concrete post topped with a lantern and gallery. It stands on a skerry southwest of Melbu in Norway's Nordland region. The structure is painted white with a red lantern roof. Its focal height reaches 9 meters, casting a light visible for 10 nautical miles. The light emits a single white flash every 5 seconds. The site is accessible by boat, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for local navigation, warning vessels of the hazards around the skerry and nearby shoals. Its strategic placement aids fishing fleets and coastal traffic in the Vesterålen archipelago.
