About Store Kamøy Lighthouse
The Store Kamøy lighthouse is a 6-meter cylindrical fiberglass tower, painted white with a red lantern roof. It stands 24.5 meters above sea level, emitting two white, green, or red flashes every 5 seconds. This light guides vessels through Kamøysund, a narrow passage to the southeast of Store Kamøy island, north of Sorøya. The lighthouse is located near Hammerfest in the Finnmark region of Norway. Its structure includes a lantern and gallery, and it is accessible by boat.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for safe navigation through the Kamøysund, a particularly narrow and challenging passage. Its sector light system precisely delineates the safe channel, preventing vessels from encountering hidden shoals or rocky outcrops in this intricate waterway.
