About Svartnes Lighthouse
Svartnes Lighthouse is a cylindrical fiberglass tower standing 5 meters tall, with its light situated 8 meters above sea level. The white structure is topped with a red lantern roof. It emits an occluded white, red, or green light, with two flashes every 8 seconds, its visibility extending 9.7 nautical miles. This lighthouse replaced an earlier lantern supported by piles. It is situated on a promontory across from Vardø.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light warns mariners of the promontory, aiding navigation through the passage between the mainland and Vardø island.
