About Månes Lighthouse
Also known as: Månes (Måneset)
Månes Lighthouse is situated on a promontory on the west coast of Senja, Norway, specifically the northernmost of three in the Torsken area. Established in 1902, the lighthouse stands as a square, 6-meter tall tower with a red lantern roof. Its focal height reaches 45.5 meters, casting a light visible for 18 nautical miles. The light displays a single flash every five seconds, alternating between white, red, and green to indicate specific bearings. The structure includes a lantern and gallery, and its nearby port of Gryllefjord is 4.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's sector light, which shifts color based on approach direction, provides precise guidance through safe passages and away from hazards along the west coast of Senja. This targeted illumination is indispensable for local fishing fleets and other maritime traffic in the area.
