Mys Zhiloy Lighthouse

Mys Zhiloy lighthouse stands as a square pyramidal tower, 6 meters tall, painted with red and white diagonal bands. Situated on a headland on the western approach to the bay leading to Teriberka, its light is visible for 18.2 nautical miles. The focal height of the light is 47 meters above sea level. This structure serves as a navigational aid in the Murmansk Oblast region of Russia. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed.

Why it matters: This lighthouse specifically warns ships about the headland at the entrance to the bay leading to Teriberka, a critical passage for local fishing vessels and supply ships.
