About Skjeljanger Lighthouse
The Skjeljanger Lighthouse is located on a promontory on the east side of the Hjeltefjord, northwest of the village of Skjeljanger. The current concrete post, standing 6.5 meters tall, was built in 1961 and carries a red lantern roof. It emits three white or red flashes on a 10-second cycle, with a focal height of 17 meters. The original station was established in 1853, and the initial structure was later demolished in 1983. The lighthouse's geographic range is 12.4 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This lighthouse aids navigation through the Hjeltefjord, a significant maritime route, by guiding vessels through the fjord's specific contours and potential hazards.
