About Gisløy Lighthouse
Also known as: Gisløy (Sporholmen Range Rear)
Gisløy Lighthouse, constructed from stone, reaches a height of 12 meters. The square tower features a white lantern section and a red roof. Black-painted piles support the tower, which is situated on an unpainted stone foundation. Activated in 1898, this lighthouse projects a white, red, or green light with a repeating 4-second cycle. Its light covers a geographic distance of 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated near Øksnes in Norway's Nordland county, on the northeastern part of Langøy island.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light precisely indicates safe passages and underwater dangers near the island's northeast tip, serving as a navigation aid for fishing vessels and other craft traversing the complicated waterways off Langøy.
