About Sandtangen Lighthouse
Also known as: #Sandtangen
Sandtangen Lighthouse stands as a cylindrical, 8-meter tall tower with a focal height of 8 meters, located on the eastern tip of Hovedøya, an island near Oslo. It displays a red light, characterized by a single red flash every 2 seconds, with a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. The structure is painted with black and white horizontal bands, featuring a lantern and gallery. This lighthouse replaced an earlier structure and provides a visual aid for vessels navigating the waters off the Norwegian coast. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: Sandtangen marks the eastern extremity of Hovedøya, serving as a key navigational point for vessels entering or leaving Oslo, Norway's capital city.
