About Omsundet Lighthouse
This 5-meter concrete post lighthouse is painted white and topped with a lantern and gallery that has a red roof. It stands on a skerry in the Omsund, a narrow passage east of Kristiansund between the islands of Nordlandet and Frei. The lighthouse displays an occulting white, red, or green light on a 6-second cycle. Its focal height is 5 meters, with a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's sector light precisely warns mariners of dangers and guides them through the intricate channels of this busy waterway, preventing groundings and collisions.
