About Gåsgrund Range Rear Lighthouse
The Gåsgrund Range Rear light is a 30-meter steel skeletal mast painted red with a yellow vertical stripe. It carries a rectangular daymark and emits a white flashing light, with a single long flash, every 8 seconds. Its focal height reaches 33 meters, providing a geographic range of 15.9 nautical miles. This structure stands on the small island of Gåsgrund, located in the Ostrobothnia region of Finland. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This range rear light is indispensable for guiding ships on a specific reach towards Vaasa, navigating the complex waters southwest of Replot. Its precise alignment ensures safe passage for commercial and local vessels through a critical approach channel.
