About Vasstrand Lighthouse
Vasstrand Lighthouse stands on a promontory on the west side of Kvaløya, an island opposite Tussøy in Norway's Troms region. The structure is a 6-meter-tall square skeletal tower with a lantern and gallery, enclosed by siding. It emits an occulting white, red, or green light every six seconds from a focal height of 8.5 meters. The tower's light has a geographic range of 9.9 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for safe navigation through the passage between Kvaløya and Tussøy. Its directional light changing color based on bearing provides precise guidance in these northern waters.
