About Sør-Hysskjæret Lighthouse
Also known as: Sør-Hysskjæret (Sore Hyseskjaer)
A 6.5-meter skeletal tower painted white with a red roof supports a lantern at Sør-Hysskjæret. Mounted on a platform atop four straight piles, the structure has a focal height of 6 meters. Its light emits three flashes of white, red, or green light in a 12-second cycle. The geographic range of the light is 8.9 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Rorvik, approximately 10.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The light is essential for safe navigation along the southern coast of Ytre Vikna, marking the skerry and surrounding shallow waters with its directional illumination.
