About Emåriskjeret Lighthouse
Also known as: Emåriskjeret (Emariskjaer)
This lighthouse is situated on a stone skerry within the southeastern part of Norway's Horta Islands. The structure consists of a 7-meter lantern and gallery, painted white with a red roof, all mounted atop a stone cairn. Its white, red, or green light flashes twice every 8 seconds, with the color changing based on the direction. The geographic range of the light is 9.3 nautical miles. While the site is open to visitors, the tower itself is closed. The nearest port is Leka, 9.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The directional light system warns mariners about the skerry and guides vessels through safe channels in the complex archipelago of the Horta Islands.
