About Tønsnes Lighthouse
This square wooden lighthouse stands 8 meters tall and is painted white with a red roof. It is situated on a point of land projecting into the east side of the Tromsøysund, about 5 km northeast of Tromsøya. The structure features a lantern and gallery atop its wooden frame, and its focal height is 4 meters. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green signal with a 6-second cycle, visible for 7.9 nautical miles. It is an active aid to navigation near the port of Tromsø.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of the projecting point of land at the east side of the Tromsøysund, guiding them through the local channels.
