About Kvalnesset Lighthouse
Kvalnesset Lighthouse is situated on a promontory at the southeastern tip of Værøy island in Norway's Nordland region. This cylindrical metal tower stands 13 meters above sea level. It features a white lantern with a red roof atop a black cylindrical base, measuring 4.5 meters in diameter. The light emits three flashes of white, red, or green light in sequence every 10 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse provides critical directional guidance through the complex waterways around Værøy, using its colored light to warn mariners away from submerged rocks and shallow areas near the promontory.
