About Vestre Skarvegrunnen Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 8.5 meters tall on a black post topped with a white gallery and a red lantern roof. Its focal height is 8 meters, and it emits an occulting white, red, or green light every 6 seconds. Located on the west side of the channel between Tromsøya and Håkøya, Norway, it provides a 9.7-nautical-mile geographic range. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Tromsdalen, 1.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through the channel west of Tromsøya and northeast of Håkøya, a busy area with numerous islands and challenging navigation.
