About Uglegorsk Lighthouse

This white, octagonal concrete tower stands 14 meters tall and was built in 1980. It features a lantern and gallery, and is attached to a white service building. The lighthouse is situated on a steep bluff overlooking the sea, with its focal plane at 49 meters above sea level. Its white light has an isophase characteristic, meaning it is illuminated for equal periods of light and darkness on a 6-second cycle. The geographic range of the light is 18.5 nautical miles.

Why it matters: The lighthouse's primary function is to warn vessels of the steep bluff and coastline hazard directly beneath it. Its distinct light pattern aids in the identification of this specific navigational point for ships operating in the area.
