About Midtfjordskjær Lighthouse
This 13-meter cylindrical concrete lighthouse stands on Midtfjordskjær, about 1 kilometer west of the E-18 bridge in the Frierfjord, near Bamble, Norway. The tower is painted white with a single red horizontal band, and its lantern features a red roof. It emits three flashes of white, red, or green light every 10 seconds, with a geographic range of 10.5 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Brevik, located 1.4 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's distinct three-color flashing pattern provides precise directional guidance, essential for safe navigation through the Frierfjord, especially for vessels near Brevik and the E-18 bridge.
