About San Juan de Salvamento Lighthouse
Also known as: San Juan de Salvamento (replica 1)
This 7-meter tall pyramidal lighthouse, built in 1997 from wood, stands as a replica of the original structure on Isla de los Estados. It features red and white bands and a 12-sided keeper's house with a pyramidal roof. The replica's construction was informed by archaeological research of the 1884 original. Though the replica is operational and emits a white flash every 4 seconds, its geographic range is limited to 11.3 nautical miles. It is located at the Museo Maritimo de Ushuaia, just 0.7 kilometers from the nearest port.
Why it matters: The replica is significant for its faithful representation of the historic 'Lighthouse at the End of the World,' made famous by Jules Verne, offering a tangible link to maritime history without the need to travel to the remote original site.
