About Skifjorden Lighthouse
This octagonal lighthouse stands on the south side of the entrance to the Skifjord, approximately 4 km southeast of Korssund. The structure, standing 4 meters tall, is painted white with a red roof and mounted on tripod piles. Its focal height is also 4 meters, and it emits an isophase white, red, or green light on a 2-second cycle, depending on the bearing. The geographic range of the light is 7.9 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors arriving by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Lutelandet, located 1.5 km away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage through the Skifjord, a narrow and potentially hazardous waterway. Its directional light provides precise guidance, preventing groundings and collisions in this confined passage.
