Location & Light Range
About Nordstrandskjær Lighthouse
This 9-meter tall structure, operational since an unspecified date, is situated on a skerry west of Tjeldsund. Its lantern rests on a platform supported by piles, with a focal height of 6 meters. The light emits white, red, or green signals, displaying an occulting characteristic of one flash every six seconds. Nordstrandskjær is located in the Tjeldsund, a passage between Tjeldøy and the Lofoten Islands. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation through the Tjeldsund, a significant shipping lane. Its directional light specifically warns vessels of the skerry it marks, preventing groundings in an area with complex underwater features.
