About Todo Lighthouse

A green, cylindrical concrete tower 35 meters tall, with a lantern and gallery, was built in 2006 near Busan New Port, South Korea. Located 0.7 kilometers from the port on an island northwest of Gadeokdo, it emitted a green light. The structure, designated M4351.24 by NGA and Admiralty lists, was removed in 2018 when the island was also removed.

Why it matters: This former navigation aid marked a specific point for vessels approaching Busan New Port.
