About Vik Lighthouse Lighthouse
This 6-meter tall, white, square skeletal tower built of steel is clad in corrugated metal panels. It has a focal height of 10 meters and is situated in Vik, Norway, on the eastern edge of the Arnafjord entrance in the Sognefjord. The light emits an occulting white, red, or green flash every 2 seconds (Oc W R G 2s), with a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. The grounds are accessible, but the structure remains closed to visitors. Balestrand, the closest port, is 9 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This structure serves as a navigation aid, marking the eastern side of the Arnafjord entrance within the Sognefjord, an important passage for local and recreational boat traffic.
