About Hwanghae Lightfloat Lighthouse
The Hwanghae Lightfloat, operational since 2007, is located in the Yellow Sea, 60 km west of Gwallido and about 20 km from Gunsan. This structure features a yellow tower, 12 meters high, atop a 10-meter diameter lightfloat. Its yellow light emits one flash every 20 seconds. The lightfloat serves not only as a navigational aid with a geographic range of 11 nautical miles but also as a platform for oceanographic research. The site is open, but the tower is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lightfloat is important for oceanographic research conducted jointly by South Korea and China, providing data for understanding the Yellow Sea's marine environment.
