Gavan' Likhternaya Vtoroy Range Rear Lighthouse

This operational navigational light is situated in Vladivostok, Russia, within the Primorsky Krai region. Rather than a standalone tower, its lantern is mounted on a five-story apartment building, blending into the urban environment. The light emits a yellow flash, remaining illuminated for three seconds followed by a three-second period of darkness. Its focal height reaches 37 meters, and it has a geographic range of 16.6 nautical miles. The structure is located 3.1 kilometers from the nearest port, Vladivostok.

Why it matters: Positioned 105 meters east of its corresponding front light, this rear range marker establishes a precise navigational line for vessels entering the waters near Vladivostok. The unique integration of the light into residential architecture addresses urban navigational challenges.
