About Kvitskjær Lighthouse
Kvitskjær lighthouse is a 6-meter concrete post located on a skerry about 3 kilometers southwest of Småge, Norway. The structure is painted white and features a red lantern roof. Its focal height reaches 7.5 meters above sea level, and it emits a directional light with a geographic range of 9.5 nautical miles. The light displays two flashes of white, red, or green every 8 seconds, depending on the direction of approach. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the hazardous skerry it sits upon and ensures safe passage for local fishing boats and other small craft navigating the Norwegian archipelago.
