About Moneron Lighthouse
Also known as: Moneron (Ostrov Moneron, Mys Observatsiy) {Kaiba Shima, Todomoshiri}
A cylindrical concrete tower, 10 meters in height, stands on Moneron Island. This structure, built in 1963, is painted black with a single white horizontal band. It features an octagonal base, a lantern room, and a gallery. Adjacent to the tower is a building that formerly housed the lighthouse crew. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds, visible for over 26 nautical miles. Moneron Island itself is uninhabited and located in the Tatar Strait, southwest of Sakhalin Island.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels through the Tatar Strait, a significant maritime passage. Its light helps mariners navigate the hazardous coastline and surrounding waters of Moneron Island.
