About Mæskfjord Range Rear Lighthouse
Also known as: #Mæskfjord Range Rear
This green, tripod tower, 6.5 meters in height and built on piles, has a focal plane of 23 meters. It displays an occulting white light with a 4-second period. The structure replaced a prior form and was later dismantled, reflecting evolving navigation technology. The original construction included a lantern set on a platform supported by piles.
Why it matters: This rear range light served as a reference point for directing vessels into the Mæskfjord, a narrow inlet requiring accurate positioning for safe passage.
